UNC will not require COVID-19 tests for students or faculty before they return to campus
Posted Jul 29, 2020
UNC will not test students for COVID-19 prior to re-entry on campus this semester. That's according to the University’s Roadmap for Fall 2020, UNC's COVID-19 response plan. Jim Thomas, professor of epidemiology and ethics at UNC, said the reasoning behind not testing everyone was, in part, an effort to conserve testing supplies and staff resources.
