COVID-19 Prevention Plans At Colleges Include Near Daily Testing For Students

Colleges across the United States are planning to reopen in the fall.

This plan persists even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, reports UPI.

Many universities plan to test students every two days using a rapid, inexpensive kit.

Unfortunately, these tests are 70% accurate, an analysis published Friday found.

Other strict measures include mask-wearing, social distancing, and isolation of confirmed cases.

Schools hope to lower the potential spread of the coronavirus through these measures.
