COVID-19 testing at universities threatens to strain nationwide capacity
Demand for COVID-19 testing could soar in the fall with the reopening of some universities and schools, threatening to overburden an already strained system.
Many schools and universities are planning to regularly test students and staff in an effort to stop the spread of COVID-19 on their campuses.
But public health officials and experts worry there is not enough capacity and supplies to test thousands of people who aren't showing any symptoms of the disease.
"I think what we're starting to recognize is that it really is not going to be feasible in probably most areas of the U.S. to try to put together some type of testing strategy where you're testing multiple times, especially if the results don't come back for a while," said Dr. Tina Tan, a member of the board of directors for the Infectious Diseases Society of America.
