Dear Members of the Lehigh Community and Lehigh Families,
As a reminder, in addition to mandatory testing of 100% of unvaccinated students, faculty and staff with approved medical and religious exemptions, we will offer optional asymptomatic surveillance testing today and tomorrow, Nov. 22-23, to any students, faculty and staff without symptoms who would like to be tested.
For other types of testing, including symptomatic and close contact testing, reminders for how to make an appointment can be found here.
As always, students should contact the Health and Wellness Center, and faculty and staff should contact their personal healthcare provider and the university’s Employee Health Nurse Case Manager from Lehigh Valley Health Network, Christine Wolfe, RN. if they experience COVID-like symptoms.
