CSU reports slight increase in COVID-19 cases - April 5 update

COVID-19 cases are up on campus and in Cuyahoga County.
By MARY DUDZIK

Cleveland State University reported a slight increase in cases for the week in  the April 5 update of its COVID-19 dashboard. 

CSU reported that eight students are isolating off campus and three students are quarantined off campus. This is a slight change from last week’s numbers when five students were isolating off campus and one student was in quarantine. 

The slight increase in COVID-19 cases comes one month after CSU eased its mask mandate. The university’s new policy only requires students and staff to wear masks while in the classroom.

Cuyahoga County

According to the New York Times COVID-19 tracker, cases have increased recently in Cuyahoga County, home to CSU. According to The New York Times, on average 80 cases per day were reported in Cuyahoga County during the past two weeks, a 73 percent increase from the previous two weeks. 

Since the beginning of the pandemic, at least 1 in 5 residents in the county has been infected, totaling close to 270,000 reported cases in a population of 1.25 million.

While the hospitalization rate in Cuyahoga County has fallen since March 25, the death rate has stayed the same.. 


Isolation: An individual who has tested positive for COVID-19 with OR without symptoms and who must isolate for 10 days from either symptom onset or test result, the last 24 hours of which must be fever free and, if symptomatic, symptoms are improving. 

Quarantine: An individual who either meets the CDC definition of being a close contact of a confirmed COVID-19 case or is arriving at CSU from either a domestic hotspot or international location and must quarantine for 14 days from either last known contact with the confirmed COVID-19 case or, in the case of those arriving from hotspot or international locations, the day of arrival.
