With the recent outbreaks in the University’s dorms and new cases every day, COVID-19 testing remains extremely important. Testing provided by the University is at an all-time high with 50 to 150 asymptomatic students chosen randomly every day to receive tests, alongside prevalence testing occurring every weekday for several on-Grounds dormitories, in addition to the symptomatic students tested daily.
