COVID-19 Case Update, This Week's Surveillance Testing Groups

COVID-19 testing helps MCC quickly respond to potential outbreaks of COVID-19. Surveillance testing of specific groups of students and employees is an important part of our spring health and safety plan. Groups invited and encouraged to participate in COVID-19 testing this week include:

  • Applied Technologies Center
  • Downtown Campus
  • Workforce Development

Testing Sessions Held Today and Tomorrow
Located in the Flynn Campus Center Forum (3-130), MCC’s Testing Center will be open 12:30 to 6:30 p.m. today, April 4 and 9:00 to 3:00 p.m. tomorrow, April 5. No appointment is necessary. MCC uses COVID-19 antigen rapid tests—a simple and more comfortable nasal test.
