Utah State University plans to test nearly 300 students for COVID-19 after wastewater samples from four dormitories showed elevated levels of the coronavirus.
The students who will be tested Sunday and Monday live in the Rich, Jones, Morgan and Davis dorms. There have been no reported positive tests for COVID-19 in those residence halls so far. Students in those dorms must quarantine until the test results are available, which could take up to four days. They are also asked to fill out a form to ensure they receive academic support and food deliveries. Classes are scheduled to begin on Monday.
