FAIRMONT â Five Fairmont State students tested positive this week during state-mandated COVID-19 testing.
The testing program is made up of 10 percent of the on-campus student population, including students who live on campus, attend in-person instruction or use campus facilities throughout the spring semester.
University officials used the saliva-based tests to check students for the coronavirus on Feb. 2-3. Officials will select students from within the on-campus student population for testing on a weekly basis. The testing program will wrap up prior to finals week.
