The University of Wisconsin System is planning to test up to 350,000 students for coronavirus when they return to campus this fall.
Governor Tony Evers’ office allocated $32 million for the testing program from federal CARES Act funding.
Nasal swab testing would be done on students showing COVID-19 symptoms.
The federal money would also pay for 317,000 antigen tests to be given bi-weekly to students who are living in residence halls.
The plan doesn’t include faculty members who will be expected to test with their own doctors.
Campuses may set up temporary quarantine dorms.
