[BNC-grads-list] [NSAC] COVID Testing Birck Requirements Guidance

[Sam Peana]

Hello all,

Thanks to Ron Reger we now have clear guidance on the procedures regarding
COVID test results and continuing work in Birck. Graduate students are
sorted into two categories.


   1. Students* just arriving back to campus* are *required* to have a
*negative
   COVID test* result *before attending any classes or working in
   buildings. * This pertains to both grad students and undergrads.
   2. Students who have *already been working* in Purdue buildings this
   summer are *required to have a COVID test,* but *they can continue
   working in the building without test results as long as they meet these two
   criteria:*
      1. *They are not exhibiting any symptoms*
      2. *They haven’t been in contact with anyone who has COVID.*


As noted everyone in Birck must have a negative COVID test so please do not
procrastinate on getting that done. If you have not gotten the email from
Purdue regarding the at home test please email protectpurdue at purdue.edu to
get it. Alternatively, there is on campus testing at the TRec (across from
the COREC), and they are open from 8am till 5pm during the week.
Alternative testing information can be found here:

As always stay safe, follow the protocols, and good luck!

Sincerely,

-Sam Peana
