[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tufts is resuming on campus, virtual the first week, and mandatory booster and 3x/week testing - and they have a plan for isolating in residence halls if dedicated quarantine housing fills (which they expect it will, rapidly). The university is also encouraging any students who live a flexible trip from campus (such as a short to day’s drive) to postpone return the campus to allow for testing protocols to ramp up. They’ve done a solid job minimizing the impact of Covid throughout the pandemic. True, some have found their approach conservative - but those are students and families from outside the Covid super aware New England and greater northeast.  [/quote]

Wait the vaccinated have to be tested 3xs a week?

That isn't super aware. That is a waste of resources and a complete disregard of science. Those poor students. [/quote]

Tufts has a great public health program. Whatever they’re doing is probably what everyone should be doing. [/quote]

Additionally, Tufts has said the higher frequency testing is just for the first couple of weeks to minimize impact of viral spread as the community comes back together for the new semester. Their messaging implies higher frequency testing will be short lived. All I know is they’ve had one of the most effective Covid protocols since the pandemic began.  Others are in the spotlight for their creative protocols, but those same schools have experienced much higher rates of positivity. [/quote]
