Targeted testing of high-risk groups will be implemented on a regular basis at Loyola. These groups were selected based on their frequent and often prolonged contact with students, placing them at higher risk of contracting COVID-19, and thus of spreading it to the larger community.

Additionally, those demonstrating symptoms of COVID-19 will be tested in the satellite clinics located at the Water Tower and Lake Shore Campuses, and students at the Health Sciences Campus will have access to testing at the occupational/student health clinic located at the Medical Center. Satellite clinic testing will also be conducted by medical staff of the Wellness Center.

For more information on testing, please visit our Health and Safety page on the Return to Campus website. For the most up-to-date data on positive COVID-19 cases within the City of Chicago, the state of Illinois, and across the United States and world, please visit the following resources:

Our COVID-19 Testing Dashboard reflects all testing data and positive COVID-19 cases that result from Loyola-provided testing. This dashboard does not reflect any testing or positive case results from tests provided by any non-Loyola, private, or community-based testing service. The dashboard also excludes any designated positive cases reported in person, via email or phone.

NOTE: We track two types of COVID-19 test results through Loyola-provided testing: rapid and PCR. Rapid tests display results daily, while PCR tests take 2-3 days to show results. Thus, all data on the COVID-19 Dashboard are subject to change retroactively depending on when we receive test results. Please check back frequently for the most up-to-date number of positive COVID-19 cases and COVID-19 tests administered within our community.
