Dabo Swinney revealed some interesting news this week regarding the COVID-19 testing policy in place for his team.
While the majority of Clemson’s football players have been vaccinated, those who haven’t are being tested three times per week. Meanwhile, those who have been fully vaccinated are not being subjected to regular surveillance testing, the Tigers’ coach said.
Those protocols fall in line with what the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Medical Advisory Group (MAG) has recommended for many of the league’s fall sports teams that have at least an 85% vaccination rate. But it doesn’t line up with a university policy mandating weekly testing for all of Clemson’s students regardless of their vaccination status, which has taken precedence until now.
