COVID-19 Case Update, Testing Session This Afternoon Only
Due to Spring Recess, there will be one testing session today, April
18 from 12:30-5:30 p.m. in the Flynn Campus Center Forum (3-130).
Please note earlier closing time; no appointment necessary. On-campus testing
will not be offered tomorrow, April 19. (If you received an exemption and do
not plan to come to campus, you do not need to test.)
Monitoring your health before coming to campus and testing are key factors
to our ability to stop the spread of the virus and its variants on campus.
According to a recent statement from Monroe County officials, “While the
vast majority of individuals currently infected with COVID are not experiencing
severe illness, the BA-2 variant is proving to be dangerous to some. Anyone at
higher risk of severe complications from the virus should maintain physical
distancing as much as possible and wear a high quality N95 or KN95 mask when in
indoor, public settings. Anyone who is eligible for a COVID vaccination or
booster shot should get one as soon as possible.”
