The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) is leading a program for all four-year universities across the state of Alabama and is providing COVID-19 testing through Healthy at Work to all students prior to returning to campuses. Students will be required to participate in initial testing at offsite locations before returning to their university in order to help administrators understand local prevalence and to help mitigate the spread of the virus on campus. Once on campus, students will participate in regular onsite COVID-19 testing through the Healthy at Work program.
Brown University deployed a routine COVID-19 testing pilot program this summer using Healthy at Work with a cohort of faculty, staff and graduate students. As it resumes on-campus instruction and operations in phases, the university is developing a comprehensive testing plan for all individuals who live, work or study on campus this fall.
