Posted: Jul 17, 2020 / 10:15 AM CDTUpdated: Jul 17, 2020 / 10:19 AM CDTAUBURN, Ala. (WRBL) –&nbsp;All students attending on campus classes at Auburn University in the fall will be required to take a COVID-19 test.The testing is part of the university’s&nbsp;comprehensive plans for a safe and healthy semester.&nbsp;“Testing students gives us a more complete picture of the health of our campus, which will in turn help us preserve the safety and well-being of our students, faculty and staff,” Auburn University President Jay Gogue said. “The data collected will inform health strategies in our community and give our state’s public health officials information to help effectively combat the virus.”Auburn joins the state’s other public higher education institutions as a participant in Gov. Kay Ivey’s&nbsp;&nbsp;initiative. Testing will be led by the&nbsp;&nbsp;and the&nbsp;, with costs covered by&nbsp;&nbsp;funding made available by the State of Alabama.&nbsp;Testing sites will be available throughout the state beginning July 25, with Beard-Eaves Coliseum as Auburn’s designated testing location. Students must be tested within 14 days prior to their return to campus. All testing outcomes are confidential, and the identity of those testing positive will not be made public.&nbsp;In addition to required student reentry testing, voluntary random COVID-19 testing will be conducted weekly for Auburn students, faculty and staff, enabling local and state public health officials to identify ongoing campus and community trends and target potential problem scenarios.&nbsp;Auburn’s testing efforts are a key element of&nbsp;&nbsp;the university’s recently announced fall plans for returning to normal operations. The plan details new health and safety guidelines, campus modifications to promote physical distancing and strategic adjustments to the fall 2020 academic calendar. Additional steps to ensure campus health include reserved isolation housing for students living on-campus who test positive for the coronavirus; students living off-campus who test positive will be asked to self-quarantine until the threat of virus transmission has passed.Protocols for test administration are still being developed, and Auburn will provide more specific information and detailed guidance, including testing locations, in the coming weeks.Thanks for signing up!Watch for us in your inbox.Subscribe Now✕× Close Ad
