Ohio National Guard COVID-19 testing Nov. 12

On Thursday, November 12th, Heidelberg will welcome back the Ohio National Guard to conduct voluntary COVID-19 testing for campus community.  The testing is mandatory for faculty and staff with immediate family members also invited. It is voluntary for students. However, ALL students are urged to take advantage of this opportunity on our campus  This is an important and responsible step you can take, not just to keep our campus as healthy as possible, but also your family and your home community as we prepare to conclude on-campus learning and living for the fall semester in just two weeks.
 
Testing will take place from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. in Seiberling Gymnasium.  Please make every effort to come using the schedule below.  If you are unable to attend at your designated hour, please attend during the hour that works for you.

• 9 a.m.-10 a.m. -- last names beginning with A to G
• 10 a.m.-11 p.m. -- last names beginning with H to N
• 11 a.m.-12 p.m. -- last names beginning with O to U
• 12 p.m.-1 p.m. -- last names beginning with V to Z

The process will be similar to the on-campus mass COVID-19 testing that occurred in August and October.  Those who are being tested will complete a registration form (which also includes consent) and will have a temperature and symptom check before entering Seiberling Gymnasium.  The test will be an anterior nares swab (not the brain scrambler) and will be administered by trained military medical personnel.

Anyone who is exhibiting symptoms will be directed to a location inside Seiberling for testing.  Please wear your mask at all times and observe social distancing.

Results are expected within 48-72 hours.  You will receive a card with instructions for checking your results.  If you are asymptomatic, you will not be required to quarantine while you await your test results.
  
If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms now, do not wait for this testing on Thursday.  Students should immediately contact Stoner Health & Counseling Center at 419-448-2041 for guidance and employees should consult with their personal healthcare provider.
 
If you have questions, you can call Stoner Health and Counseling Center.
