The George Washington University (GW) in Washington, D.C., USA established the Public Health Laboratory and Campus COVID-19 Support Team (CCST) to develop and implement its SARS-CoV-2 surveillance testing and outbreak response for the 2020-2021 academic year.
Approximately 4,000 GW members had access to campus for living accommodations, limited in-person instruction, athletics, research, and university operations. The outbreak response included daily risk assessment surveys, weekly surveillance testing, symptomatic and voluntary testing, case investigation, and contact tracing.
Between August 17 - November 24, 2020, 42,350 SARS-CoV-2 PCR tests were performed, and 194 (0.46%) of tests were positive. Surveillance testing identified 59 (30.4%); voluntary testing 97 (50%); and symptomatic testing 30 (15.5%) of the cases, respectively.
Robust testing of asymptomatic people and rapid isolation and quarantine of members who are exposed or infected effectively limited the spread of SARS-CoV-2 during the Fall 2020 semester.
美国华盛顿特区的乔治华盛顿大学 (GW) 成立了公共卫生实验室和校园 COVID-19 支持团队 (CCST)，以开发和实施其 SARS-CoV-2 监测检测和 2020-2021 学年的疫情应对措施。
大约 4000 名 GW 成员有机会入住校园，进行有限的面授、体育活动、研究和大学运营。疫情应对措施包括每日风险评估调查、每周监测检测、症状和自愿检测、病例调查和接触者追踪。
2020 年 8 月 17 日至 11 月 24 日，共进行了 42350 次 SARS-CoV-2 PCR 检测，其中 194 次（0.46%）检测呈阳性。监测检测分别发现了 59 例（30.4%）、自愿检测 97 例（50%）和症状检测 30 例（15.5%）的病例。
对无症状人群进行强有力的检测，并迅速隔离和检疫接触或感染的成员，有效限制了 2020 年秋季学期 SARS-CoV-2 的传播。
