ASU students who have not been on campus since the Spring 2020 semester are getting chosen for random COVID-19 testing.
ASU stated at the beginning of the school year that students are required to get tested if they have been randomly selected, and off-campus students are worried that coming to campus just for the sake of taking a random COVID-19 test could put them at risk. Off-campus ASU students Sukhmani Singh, TaMeia Murphy and Crystal Grassi share their perspectives of how they felt when they were selected for random COVID-19 testing.
