Message: [QUOTE="eebmg, post: 3857419, member: 7548"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ctinsider.com/sports/ctpost/article/If-not-for-six-scientists-who-spend-their-days-15964891.php[/URL] UConn’s COVID-19 lab conducts up to 340 individual tests a day for the athletic department alone, in addition to the 5,000 it runs daily through pool testing for the university population at large. More than 10,000 tests have been performed for the athletic department since the current protocol was put in place in October. Without this process and the effort of those involved, UConn sports at this time would be impossible. The cost of athletics testing in this system is under $100,000, with each test costing under $10. That is far less expensive, with a quicker turnaround time, than services offered by off-campus labs. Costs to the lab for testing the student population at large, university professor and lab coordinator Dr. Rachel O’Neill said, is hundreds of thousands of dollars versus the millions it would have been with the use of off-site labs.
