DU Students To Submit 2 Negative COVID Tests Before Returning For Spring Semester

DENVER (CBS4) - With the spread of the COVID-19 omicron variant, the University of Denver is taking a preventative step to maintain in-person learning in the spring semester. They will require two negative on-campus COVID-19 test results from everyone at the school.

The first test will allow students and faculty to access buildings, and the second test will need to be "completed shortly after the first test," and will allow the community to stay on campus.

Testing is to continue as it did in the fall semester.

In-person activities start Jan. 5 for undergraduates and Jan. 7 for graduate students.
