The greatest COVID-19 threat to college football players this fall might not be on the field, but rather on the rest of campus, a newly published study shows.
site last Friday, researchers from Yale, Harvard and Massachusetts General Hospital wrote that the safe reopening of college campuses may require testing of all students every two days and “uncompromising vigilance and continuous attention to good prevention practices.”
Asked whether the effectiveness of that protocol could be undercut on a campus that is not testing all of its students as frequently, Paltiel said: “The serious adverse consequences associated with an outbreak on campus will be borne disproportionately by the non-student members of the college community — the staff, the dining-hall workers, the custodians, the faculty and the more vulnerable members of the surrounding community,” he said.
