The specificity of COVID-19 internal tracking and the method of reporting data to the public vary from school to school, much like symptoms vary from person to person. Some college campuses provide thorough, easy-to-access COVID-19 dashboards on their websites that are updated frequently. Others have dashboards that require a postgraduate degree to navigate. And some have no dashboards at all. So diverse is the range of COVID-19 reporting around the country that the situation spawned — what else? — a Twitter account: @CovidDashboards. It assigns a letter grade to university dashboards based on the range of data provided, the frequency of updates, the separation of student and staff data, the ease of use and several other categories. UC Berkeley received the highest grade - an A - among the University of California campuses that provide public data via dashboard. For more on this, see our press release at Berkeley News.
