[Return to Guilford's COVID-19 Hub]
Here is this week’s update regarding our ongoing College-wide efforts to safeguard the health of our community.
COVID-19 Testing
On Tuesday, Nov. 17, we will hold a voluntary COVID-19 testing clinic from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Ragan Brown Field House for community members seeking to be tested before we wrap up the on-campus portion of the Fall 2020 semester. The goal of the testing is for community members to know if they may have the coronavirus prior to heading away from campus.
I want to make it clear that if a residential student tests positive, the individual must be isolated on campus, per Guilford County Health Department, to stop the potential virus spread.
Here is the link to the appointment calendar to sign up for a COVID testing time slot:
