At the end of October, Utah’s COVID-19 cases were high. Two of the nation’s top public health officials visited the University of Utah to discuss improved testing for the campus community. In the subsequent two months through an enormous effort, the U has developed new testing capability so that all staff, students and faculty can take highly accurate saliva tests without exhibiting symptoms. This asymptomatic testing, called surveillance testing, aims to catch the people who feel well but have the virus, and are unknowingly spreading the disease.
