NBC 5: TCU Will Not Conduct COVID-19 Test on Every Person Returning to Campus

By Avery Dalal

TCU will not conduct COVID-19 testing of all students, faculty or staff returning to campus in accordance with CDC recommendations, the university says in guidance released last week.

The school cited American College Health Association information that says "screening large numbers, thousands, of students will likely produce no substantial public health benefit."

The school also said viral testing is a snapshot of a person's viral load on a particular day, and one-time testing of an entire population is not a useful public health tool.
