Cornell seeks to use student, staff, and faculty test swabs in COVID-19 research, investigating new dimensions of the virus.
While Cornell University’s rigorous COVID-19 testing schedules have proven to be a seemingly successful tactic to keeping their infected numbers low, some students see much room for improvement for the process.
ICSD has administered COVID-19 tests to its students since Sept. 30 at the Ithaca Mall, and will continue to test students there through Oct. 2. ICSD will hold their final day of optional re-entry testing on Oct. 3; the location has yet to be announced.
Two weeks ago, Cornell set up a COVID-19 dashboard to “keep the community informed of the status of COVID-19 testing.” But even as campus cases spike, delays in updating the site have prompted more questions than answers among anxious community members.
On the first day of surveillance testing, many students are already facing long lines and a malfunctioning Daily Check system.
On Tuesday, Cornell released its COVID-19 testing dashboard, which provides data from Cornell’s COVID-19 testing program — including the total number of tests, the number of positive tests and Cornell’s COVID-19 alert level.
The Cornell program has three core components — arrival testing, surveillance testing and testing with cause. Here’s what you need to know about those three components.
In an effort to frequently test students in the fall, Cornell will repurpose part of a center in the College of Veterinary Medicine into a COVID-19 testing lab.
Shelves are empty, supply weak, prices heavy. There’s a shortage throughout the nation already. Shoppers are nervous, but on the surface they’re not calm or ready. Personal Protective Equipment and toilet paper, stand aside; it’s meat’s turn to have a shortage. Or is it?
