  1. aTotal population includes all members of IU affiliated faculty, staff, and students with at least one SARS-CoV-2 test during the study period of August 1, 2020 to May 9, 2021
  2. bp-values for categorical variables are from Chi-square tests. p-values for continuous variables are from Mann–Whitney U tests
  3. cAsymptomatic tests include the following test categories: surveillance, voluntary, and arrival tests. The total number of tests in these categories were 4363, 770, 451, respectively, for single infections; 33, 3, 5, respectively, for the first diagnostic test of reinfected population; and 31, 10, 0, respectively, for the second test of reinfected population
  4. dSymptomatic tests include the following test categories: Self-report, symptomatic, and other tests. The total number of tests in these categories were 4795, 1818, 1, respectively, for single infections; 26, 7, 0, respectively, for the first diagnostic test of reinfected population; and 30, 3, 0, respectively, for the second test of reinfected population
