I’ve contracted COVID-19 and recovered, but I’ve heard that I might return a positive result for days or weeks afterwards – does this prevent me coming to campus?

This is an issue with PCR tests, but not Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs). PCR tests can return a positive result during the period when individuals have recovered and are non-infectious, but could be shedding the virus from their system. RATs don’t track the virus, but rather, the body’s reaction to it (antigens) so RATs performed after recovering from infection won’t produce a positive response to shedding.
