A campuswide testing program to identify asymptomatic Covid-19 community members was developed by Georgia Tech's own researchers and as of Oct. 25 had administered more than 105,000 tests since it was launched in August. Testing for the saliva-based program is done by a 30-person team that collects samples and works around the clock in a federally certified lab constructed in the basement of a campus research building.
