University of Wisconsin COVID-19 surge testing sites will continue to operate until at least Dec. 25, UW System President Tommy Thompson announced Monday.
Since opening their doors in November, 22 testing sites in close proximity to UW System universities have administered roughly 100,000 free tests to students and employees, according to a UW System press release.
Originally, the UW System estimated the sites would only operate through mid-December. Additional support from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services allowed the UW System sites to run surge testing until at least Christmas.
UW System Board of Regents President Andrew Petersen commended the extension in the UW System press release.
