If you have COVID-19 symptoms, you are encouraged to use an at-home antigen test.
- Students can make a telehealth appointment in Health-e-Messaging or contact Student Health and Counseling Services for a phone visit with the triage nurse to further discuss testing and/or treatment options, including those available at SHCS. If students have a positive test and it is after hours or on the weekends, and they have questions about possible treatment.
