USCB students return to campus, receive COVID-19 tests
Bluffton Today
A long line of University of South Carolina Beaufort students snaked down the sidewalk outside USCB’s recreation center in Bluffton last Sunday as students waited to be tested for COVID-19 before moving back into residence halls from a long winter break.
On Friday, the university’s online dashboard reported 664 students and faculty tested since Jan. 6, 15 new cases of COVID-19 and 50 more test results pending.
The dashboard said Friday the university had a COVID-19 alert score of .83, a figure the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control classifies as a low risk level albeit on the high end of the classification. Moderate risk is 1 to 1.9.
