This is a follow up to the email from Campus Health last Wednesday regarding required COVID-19 testing and reporting cases of COVID-19. Please share this with your teams to ensure compliance and initiate protocols to keep our campus safe.

COVID-19 Testing

All Tulane employees – including faculty and staff who are working remotely – are required to complete a return-to-campus test this week. If they haven’t already, please encourage your staff to schedule their tests immediately.

• Employees should have received an email on Dec. 18 with scheduling instructions and a personalized QR code, or they can schedule directly through the Tulane Patient Portal.
• If anyone on your team has any questions or needs an additional code, email CHTestResults@tulane.edu.
• In addition, to further protect our community, we are increasing the frequency of testing for the spring semester for all staff and faculty. Following return testing, employees will be tested every other week (twice per month).
• Moving forward, please encourage all employees to schedule tests immediately after receiving the email notice from lablynx to maintain this schedule going forward.

Reporting Cases of COVID-19

Employees who tested positive for COVID-19 on or after Oct. 1, 2020, outside of the Tulane Testing Program are required to complete the COVID-19 Reporting Form. This includes those employees who are working remotely.

More information regarding testing, reporting cases of COVID-19 and other important protocols to keep our campus safe can be found on the public health strategies page.
