SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - South Dakota universities reported over 90 cases of coronavirus cases among students and staff through an online dashboard that was launched on Tuesday.
The University of South Dakota reported the highest number of people affected by the coronavirus, with 61 active cases and 331 people in quarantine. Four other public universities reported cases among students and staff, with a total of 32 cases.
Executive Director of the Board of Regents Brian Maher said the dashboards will provide the public with a real-time look at case numbers, the Argus Leader reported. The Department of Health is giving a weekly report on the number of cases in schools and universities statewide, but will not provide a breakdown by school or district. The Department is leaving it up to individual districts or schools to report cases to parents and students.
