New COVID-19 cases continue to tick in the wrong direction

Noted: University of Wisconsin students who get their vaccines will be exempt from weekly testing requirements under new system guidance.

UW System interim President Tommy Thompson asked campus chancellors Wednesday to allow students who have gotten vaccinated against COVID-19 to be exempt from the weekly COVID-19 testing regimen.

“One of the inducements, encouragements to not to have to go through testing is to get vaccinated,” Thompson said.
