, chief of the infectious disease division at Massachusetts General Hospital, said she believes there is a way for some universities to continue with plans for in-person classes, mainly those located in places with low infection rates like New York State.
Some schools planned to do a round of entry testing — in some instances, it occurred before a student got to campus. In others, it meant they were tested upon showing up to live on campus.nearly 12,000 tests There is value in doing an initial round of screening because schools certainly do not want people showing up on campus already infected, Walensky said. But she said the situation at Notre Dame shows why universities' testing plans must also contain testing at regular intervals after that — blanket testing was the only reason they found those initial cases.
Students living on campus at Iowa State University were tested upon their arrival in Ames, located a little more than 30 miles north of Des Moines. Of the 8,094 students who were tested, 175, or 2.2%, were positive,Zach Lewis, 19, has already been forced to isolate for two weeks. One of his roommates tested positive for Covid-19 upon their arrival Friday, but Lewis had spent a few hours in close proximity with them by the time they learned of the infection.
"We just had move-in. We had the weekend before classes and a lot of people went out partying," he said. "I'm worried that there's going to be an outbreak now, and we're going to have to go completely online."
