Syracuse, N.Y. – Syracuse University starts its spring semester Monday with a beefed up Covid-19 testing program designed to prevent out-of-control outbreaks like the one that forced it to halt classes in November two weeks earlier than scheduled.
SU is making every student get tested at least once a week. It plans to conduct as many as 300,000 Covid tests between now and May, three times more than it did during the fall semester. SU has spent about $1 million to build its own labs that will process tests within 24 to 36 hours. During the fall, SU partnered with Upstate Medical University which processed tests for SU and all the campuses in the SUNY system.
