Dixie State lacks testing capacity to enforce state order

ST. GEORGE, Utah (AP) — A university in southern Utah said testing will be encouraged but not mandatory despite state health orders mandating college students get tested weekly for the coronavirus.

“The truth is we don’t have enough tests to even test everyone,” said Jordon Sharp, vice president of marketing and communication at Dixie State. “Now, if that changes, then then we’ll see what happens.”
