HOW ARE POSITIVE COVID-19 CASES BEING COMMUNICATED?
BCS has created the 2021-2022 Covid-19 Communication page on the BCS website. It can be accessed from the home page under News & Updates. The number of positive Covid-19 cases will be posted by programmatic level to our Covid-19 Dashboard reflecting the number of positive cases received by the Covid-19 Tracing Team from Friday at 8 am through 4 pm the following Thursday. The BCS Covid-19 Dashboard will be updated each week on Friday.
