Broad-Based Asymptomatic Testing Program Helps Control Covid-19

By John Toon October 13, 2020

An ambitious campuswide testing program aimed at identifying asymptomatic Covid-19 community members has helped limit daily case counts to single digits at the Georgia Institute of Technology, which currently has approximately 7,400 students living on campus and several thousand more students, faculty, and staff commuting to learn and work there each day.

The saliva-based program was developed by Georgia Tech’s own researchers and as of October 10 had administered more than 75,000 tests since it was launched in August.
