Testing
Every member of the School of Social Work community should know that the building exceeds the university standards for public health safety. SSW passed a strict university approval process before reopening. People greatly reduce the risk of COVID transmission if they wear a mask, wash their hands and follow social distancing guidelines. No symptomatic people are allowed to enter the building.
The School’s COVID-19 Reentry website has information specific to our school about safety. U-M also has a COVID-19 website.
U-M Student Testing
Testing is available from University Health Service, local health care providers, pharmacies and urgent care centers. If you have a health care provider, contact them about testing.
Expanded Surveillance Testing
U-M has entered into an agreement to begin offering saliva-based COVID-19 diagnostic surveillance testing on the Ann Arbor campus. This new type of testing will begin early in October and allow the university to increase surveillance testing capacity to up to 6,000 individuals per week through the voluntary U-M COVID-19 Community Sampling and Tracking program.
Please sign up for this free COVID-19 testing program. The company providing the testing services under the new agreement is LynxDX, a startup spun off of intellectual property developed at U-M.
