COVID-19 Testing & Tracing

Testing

Marywood University will no longer require that students show a negative COVID-19 viral test or documentation of recovery from COVID-19 before they arrive on campus. However, we strongly encourage the following recommendations. 

  • Vaccination is the leading prevention strategy to protect individuals from COVID-19. A growing bodyof evidence shows that people who are up to date with their vaccines are at substantially reduced risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19 compared with unvaccinated people. CDC recommends that all faculty, staff, and students should be vaccinated as soon as possible and remain up to date in their vaccinations, including receiving a booster when eligible.

  • Consider getting tested for current infection with a viral test as close to the time of arrival as possible (no more than 3 days) before travel.

  • At-home tests are acceptable. Students choosing to use at-home tests should do so either the morning of (before arrival) or 1 day prior to coming to campus to ensure the most up-to-date/accurate results possible. 

Do NOT travel to campus if…

  • You have COVID-19 symptoms, 

  • You tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 10 days.

  • You are waiting for the results of a COVID-19 test.

  • You had close contact with a person with COVID-19 and are recommended to quarantine.

On-Campus testing will be offered throughout the normal semester months to:

  • Students experiencing symptoms of COVID-like illness

  • Students identified as a close contact of infected individuals on or after day five (day five = five days post-exposure) or sooner if symptoms develop 

(Individuals with a confirmed COVID-19 SARS-CoV-2 infection in the last 90 days can refrain from testing)

If you have tested positive, please fill out the Student Contact Tracing Form to aid us in tracing your contacts.
