Beginning this week, Luther Seminary will be publishing a COVID-19 dashboard. This information will include the number of reported Luther Seminary employee and student cases from the previous week as well as the number of on-campus students in quarantine and isolation. The number of reported cases will only include students and employees who have been on campus within a period of time during which they may have been contagious. According to the CDC this includes two days prior to the onset of symptoms or a positive test.

If you have recently tested positive for COVID-19, or if you are an unvaccinated individual who has been in close contact with someone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19 (close contact is defined as being within 6 feet of that person for 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period), please report that to the appropriate person. For employees, that person is Michael Morrow (mmorrow001@luthersem.edu). Students should contact David Fenrick; email deanofstudents@luthersem.edu, or text or call 651-300-3537.

DASHBOARD FOR THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 27-OCTOBER 1

Reported employee cases: 0
Reported students cases: 0
Students in quarantine or isolation: 0

There has been an unexpected delay in the United States Post Office mail delivery to Luther Seminary due to COVID-19. We will move all mail on to Staff and students when delivery is resumed.
