LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) â Starting Thursday, students returning to the University of Kentuckyâs campus will once again be required to undergo COVID-19 testing.
âWhat we ve learned I think is testing is really important. That s why we re going to do even more tests. We did about 50,000 tests last fall. We will do many more tests in the spring,â said UK spokesman Jay Blanton.
Blanton says COVID-19 testing guides officials on what other actions to take to keep the campus safe. One new action this semester is adding testing sites.
