University Of Arizona President Weary Of COVID-19 Case Increases

University of Arizona President Robert Robbins has growing concerns about the significant rise in COVID cases in Arizona.

As a result, the university is planning on a testing blitz from Nov. 9-15. 

“This will give us a clear picture of the level of viral spread in the student population in the broader campus community,” Robbins said.

Despite Robbins’ acknowledgement of COVID-19 not going anywhere anytime soon, he remains optimistic about students returning to campus in the spring semester.

Hunter Brownstein was an intern at KJZZ from 2020 to 2021.
