Stanford to reinstate weekly COVID-19 testing requirement, regardless of vaccination status [The Stanford Daily]
The flava:
Stanford will require all students living on campus, living in University-sponsored off-campus housing, or coming to campus to be tested for COVID-19 weekly, regardless of vaccination status, starting on Aug. 15, according to a Wednesday email from Vice Provost for Student Affairs Susie Brubaker-Cole.
The reversal follows the University’s July elimination of the testing requirement for fully vaccinated students — a decision that was soon followed by seven fully vaccinated students testing positive for the virus. It also comes as Stanford continues to tighten on campus restrictions amid the surge in cases of the highly contagious Delta variant.
Stanford may be the first university in the Bay Area to enact such a requirement, though it is in good company — East Coast peer institutions like Harvard, Princeton and Brown are also requiring weekly testing for vaccinated students.
