Dear Students,
Thank you for continuing to participate in our ongoing COVID-19 screening testing program.
Screening testing helps to prevent large outbreaks by breaking chains of infection. Based on test results from weeks 1 and 2 of this block, frequency of testing has been adjusted for fully vaccinated students.
All fully vaccinated students should test once in week 3 of Block 7. Students who are not fully vaccinated continue testing twice weekly. Fully vaccinated students will receive an email notification on Wednesday and should take a COVID test with eMed between Wednesday and Friday. It is important to take your test through eMed because eMed handles the required reporting of test results to the health department.
Based on these test results, frequency of screening testing will be further adjusted as needed. We appreciate you taking part in this important part of our COVID-19 risk mitigation plan.
Sincerely,
Andrea Bruder
Chief Public Health Advisor to the President
Mateo Muñoz
Chair, COVID-19 Policy and Implementation Committee
