A medical employee works at one of the four testing stations set up at the Student Recreation Center.
Moscow-based students at the University of Idaho completed another round of mandatory COVID-19 testing this month, qualifying most of them to attend classes in person as the spring semester begins.
For many, it was their third time getting swabbed at the Student Recreation Center, which Gritman Medical Center partnered with the university to facilitate.
Initial mandatory testing took place last August and additional required testing in September due to an outbreak of cases on Greek Row.
The university has tested more than 5,245 people in the latest round stretching from Jan. 1 to Jan.15, according to the university’s COVID-19 website. The mass testing uncovered 93 positive COVID-19 cases, yielding a 1.77% positivity rate among UI students and employees.

Notably, Luca means bringer of light. Likewise, Special strikes tender, a lullaby set to the Velvet Underground alongside cribside meditation 500 Dreams.
