View the historic daily reported cases for University of Manchester staff and students.
The recent changes around COVID-19, such as the removal of free tests, mean the validity of comparative data on cases has significantly changed. As a result, we have stopped publishing the weekly data update on positive cases of students and staff.
We will continue to make our historic data available and strongly encourage all staff, students and visitors to follow the latest COVID-19 rules and continue to report positive tests to the University.

We’re adjusting our COVID-19 guidance in line with the latest government recommendations and updated information will be published as soon as possible. For the latest advice, please use the UK government’s coronavirus information.
The figure we are reporting is the number of new known positive cases among our staff and students, as of the preceding day. It includes those on and off campus and does not indicate where the virus might have been contracted.
This is not a Public Health England validated number and should be read in conjunction with the latest published information. The figure is obtained from those staff and students who have reported a case to the University using our agreed process and is published with a delay to ensure accuracy. All cases are reported daily to Public Health England to ensure action is coordinated efficiently.
Asymptomatic lateral flow testing
The University offered on-campus testing for students and staff from January to July 2021. The cumulative testing figures from this period are as follows:
Total tests administered (students): 12,425
Total tests administered (staff/non-students): 6,669
Cumulative positive tests: 89
You can order home test kits online. More information on asymptomatic lateral flow testing is available on our COVID-19 testing page.
Safety measures and reporting a case
We have put in place significant safety measures, in line with the latest advice from Public Health England, our own public health academic experts, and our colleagues in Estates and Safety Services.
Reporting a case is a major part of this set of measures and students and staff are doing the right thing by getting tested if they have symptoms, and letting the University know. Everyone will be supported by the University while they are recovering.
Our campus remains as safe a place as possible to work and study, in line with government guidance. We are actively monitoring the situation and will let you know if things change.
Please continue to follow the rules on campus and where you live. We strongly recommend that you download the NHS COVID-19 app and help us maintain safety of all of our people.
