Boston University has been given approval to start sequencing all positive COVID-19 tests to scan for the newly identified variants of the disease, according to a member of BU’s Medical Advisory Group.
Boston University experienced a spike in the on-campus positive test rate for COVID-19, as students, faculty and staff prepare for their return to campus after the holidays.
With more than 1 million people around the world dead from COVID-19, the hunt for a vaccine is underway, and more than 100 countries are aiding its development.
Though the COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed college life, many students said they find it safe to still travel off campus thanks to BU’s comprehensive health guidelines.
