CCS COVID-19 Dashboard will resume tracking in Fall ‘22
COVID-19 Dashboard
The CCS COVID-19 Dashboard provides data to inform and support our community. Information will be updated weekly.
The information shared in this dashboard includes the number of positive diagnostic tests or probable cases for COVID-19 confirmed by the health department as well as information about quarantine/isolation.
Please use this form for any cases, isolation, quarantines, and/or concerns CCS COVID-19 SELF REPORT
The data collected is for individuals who have been identified as being affiliated with the College and are on campus at least one day a week (i.e., residential students, commuter students, student-workers, faculty and staff that have begun the 2021-22 academic year).
Please note, not all self-quarantined individuals had exposure to an on-campus case, and not all self-isolating individuals have tested positive for COVID-19.
Confidentiality laws prohibit the College from disclosing identifying information about affected individuals.

Contract Tracing & Notification
When notified of a confirmed case of COVID-19, the College will collaborate with health department officials to begin contact tracing protocols and notification to those who may have had contact, cleaning/disinfecting protocols and quarantine/isolation protocols.
Health & Safety Reminders
In order to minimize transmission of the virus, please follow all campus health and safety protocols outlined on the Preparedness Plan, including wearing a cloth face covering, practicing social distancing, practicing good hygiene and monitoring symptoms.
Local, State & National Updates
Please visit the Detroit City Health Department, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services or Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for more information about the coronavirus.
Definitions
Close Contact: A person who was within 6 feet of a person infected with COVID-19 for more than 15 minutes (cumulative time during a 24 hour period ) with or without a mask.
Examples of close contacts include individuals who were close to a person who is infected with COVID-19 by providing care to them at home, sharing a living space, having direct physical contact with them (touched, hugged or kissed them), and sharing eating or drinking utensils. People may also be close contacts if they were somehow exposed to droplets from an infected person who is highly symptomatic, coughing, or sneezing.
Coronavirus: Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) is an illness caused by a virus that can spread from person to person. The virus that causes COVID-19 is a new coronavirus that has spread throughout the world.
Contact Tracing: A strategy for slowing the spread of disease in which public health workers communicate with infectious people to identify their contacts. They then follow up with those contacts to provide guidance on how to quarantine themselves and what to do if they develop symptoms of disease.
Self-isolation: Involves a student, faculty, or staff member (hereafter “CCS community member”) isolating from other CCS community members due to symptoms of infectious disease, including fever, cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, chills, repeated shaking with chills, fatigue or tiredness, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, runny nose or new sinus congestion, new GI symptoms, and new loss of taste or smell. Such isolation is achieved, for example, by ill students not attending classes or dining in communal spaces; or by faculty and staff not reporting to work on campus.
Self-isolation is encouraged for ANY infectious symptoms listed above, even if you have tested negative for COVID-19. Self-isolation should continue until a CCS community member has been asymptomatic for at least 24 hours without the use of anti-fever medication.
Isolation: a mandatory separation of ill CCS community members from other CCS community members due to a confirmed or probable COVID-19 case. Community members must isolate for at least 10 days with at least 24hours fever free and other symptoms improving.
Isolation will be required of CCS community members whenever such intervention is recommended by public health authorities. Criteria involve symptoms and exposure.
Quarantine: involves isolating CCS Community Members who are well, but who may have been exposed to an infectious disease.
Fully Vaccinated CCS Community members do not need to quarantine as long as they remain without symptoms, however they should monitor symptoms for 14 days, and get tested by the 5th day since exposure.
Unvaccinated CCS Community members must quarantine for a minimum of seven days after known exposure and get tested before leaving quarantine. Quarantine should continue until negative results are received. Alternatively, individuals can quarantine for 10 days and exit quarantine without a test if no symptoms present.
Quarantine will be required of CCS community members whenever such intervention is recommended to the community member by public health authorities. Criteria involve symptoms and exposure. CCS community members will be required to remain in quarantine for the duration recommended by public health officials.
Self Monitoring Advised: CCS Community members may receive this recommendation when there is a very low risk of exposure – such as being in the same room with appropriate distancing and mask wearing, a brief encounter with a positive case, or attending an event where one or more cases were linked- however they were not identified as having close contact and do not need to quarantine themselves. Self monitoring includes daily symptom checks, twice daily temperature checks, and avoiding high risk situations. Should any symptoms develop, self-isolation and notifying campus should begin immediately.
Secondary Exposure: When an individual was not in direct contact with the positive case(s) but one of their close contacts was exposed, an individual may be encouraged to / elect to self-quarantine while waiting for their results and/or through the exposed person’s quarantine period. The reasons for this type of self-quarantine may vary based on the timeline of events, symptom development, living arrangements, and/or personal risk.
Case Classifications
Confirmed Case: Confirmed cases include individuals with a positive diagnostic test for COVID-19.
Probable Case: Probable cases include individuals with COVID-19 symptoms and an epidemiologic link to confirmed COVID-19, but no diagnostic test.
Recovered Case: A recovered case is a person with a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis who is alive 30 days post-onset (or referral date if onset is not available).
