University Health Service and other campus offices team up to test students before they move back into their campus housing assignments for the spring semester.<\/div>\n

As was the case for the start of the fall semester, University of Rochester<\/a> students who are living on campus for the spring 2021 semester are being screened for COVID-19 before they can move back into their residence halls.<\/p>\n

Set up in the Field House of the Goergen Athletic Center, the testing program opened at the end of January with the capacity to test about 500 students a day. Students were asked to select a time to be tested, based on which day they planned to move onto campus or were released from a required travel quarantine.<\/p>\n

Unlike the fall semester, the spring testing program is using a rapid version of a COVID-19 test, one that returns results within about 15 minutes. Students are not allowed to leave the Field House until they receive their results. If the results are negative, students get the OK to proceed to their hall. Students who have a positive result are tested further and moved to isolation housing, as determined by University Health Service<\/a>.<\/p>\n
