University of Missouri hoping to gather data by arrival testing for certain students
COLUMBIA, Mo (KMIZ)
The University of Missouri is hoping to get more information about the COVID-19 pandemic by testing certain students returning to campus.
University of Missouri officials said Tuesday afternoon students living on-campus next semester will have to get tested for COVID-19 upon arrival to campus.
A University of Missouri spokesman Christian Basi said by testing this population, which is less than a quarter of total students, it could help guide their decision making for the semester. We re going to see what information can we glean, is it feasible, is it worth it, does it help us with our strategy with our opening of the spring semester, Basi said.
