University of Texas Mandatory Game Day Testing

The University of Texas at Austin implemented mandatory COVID-19 testing for all students attending football games at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. Dr. Mark Escott of Austin Public Health expressed concern that even with a 25,000-person limit and 200 hand-sanitizing kiosks, lines for restrooms and concessions pose a transmission risk. Students must present proof of a negative test to receive their tickets.
