VIDEO: Arizona State University released new coronavirus data Wednesday evening, which included cumulative totals not previously released.
The new data shows that since August 1, 2020, 1,305 students have tested positive for the coronavirus, while 610 have been cleared for release, meaning their cases are no longer considered active or current.
Arizona State University President Michael Crow addressed the public about coronavirus at the university Wednesday morning to discuss testing, recent data trends, housing and disclosure of data.
He was joined by Neal Woodbury, Interim Executive Vice President and Chief Science and Technology Officer for ASU's Knowledge Enterprise Josh LaBaer, executive director for ASU’s Biodesign Institute. The university had previously faced criticism because ASU was only releasing the number of current COVID-19 positive cases, and not the number of accumulative total cases.
