  • 20 new positive cases and 20 additional recoveries since the Friday, Sept. 25, report.
  • 239 active cases in Riley County.
  • 1,568 recovered cases in Riley County.

Find the latest COVID-19 data on K-State's online dashboard.

K-State is using 10 indicators and additional data to determine if and when changes to the university's operating status are necessary for the health and safety of the community. Data for each topic and indicator is collected and analyzed multiple times per week to provide updated information so leadership can make proactive decisions as quickly as possible.
