The uptick in new COVID-19 cases at William and Mary that started a few weeks back appears to be ending. But, because students have been/continue to leave the campus at the end of the semester, that’s not crystal clear. But the current week continues the downward trend seen last week.

You can see that the infection rate for the comparable (age 18-24) Virginia population rose last week, in line with the overall increase in the official count of new infections in Virginia.
For sure, this is the last usable reading for the semester. Everyone but the Seniors has gone home at this point.
In truth, this is likely to be my last update ever. My daughter graduates this year, and I no longer have a reason to track after that. Let’s hope that by that time fall semester rolls around, the new case rates are so low that nobody need to bother to track it.
