NEW YORK: Hundreds of New York University students and staff waited in line outside a white tent on Tuesday for coronavirus testing ahead of some classes resuming in early September, a scene expected to unfold on many US campuses in coming weeks.
At some colleges, a coronavirus test site is the first place students must go when they arrive on campus before going to their dorms. They may not enter any other campus buildings until the result comes back negative, which could take several days in some cases.The University of Notre Dame near South Bend, Indiana, on Tuesday reported a spike of 80 positive test results on Monday, taking the total number of confirmed cases to 147 since Aug 3, according to the university's website.
The university, with about 8,600 undergraduates, had most students and faculty on campus by Aug 10 with restrictions on travel, events and visitors.In the Oklahoma university town of Stillwater, the city council met on Monday night to discuss their response to viral videos showing crowded bars and clubs near Oklahoma State University, where in-person classes began on Aug 17.
Fauci said primary and secondary schools as a default position should try and reopen for the psychological health of children, but no single approach should apply to every school in the country. Many colleges have plans to test students who are coming back to campus, even if classes are all remote. Testing availability on campuses will vary.
