| مستخلص: | Background: We evaluate the public health surveillance program, Screen, Test, and Protect (STP) designed to control and prevent COVID-19 at a large academic university in the United States. Methods: STP was established at the University of Florida in May 2020. This report details STP's full-time workforce, centralized database, and testing and vaccination programs. We evaluate the program's success in controlling COVID-19 during the 2020-2021 academic school year. Results: COVID-19 cases rose among the campus community in the first few weeks of campus reopening in Fall 2020. Test positivity levels returned to prefall semester levels within one month, however. A few additional, yet smaller, waves occurred during the 2020-2021 school year and were successfully controlled without any campus-wide closures. Conclusions: This program may serve as a framework for other institutions managing the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, in addition to setting the standard for programmatic management of future emerging infectious diseases at universities. |
