UW students who are heading home for Thanksgiving will need a coronavirus test before they leave, and after they get back.
The university yesterday said it is requiring tests for all students who leave campus over the holiday break. UW President Tommy Thompson says students risk bringing the virus back to campus, and he wants to avoid another surge if he can.
