We need your help to properly plan for COVID-19 pooled saliva testing. We are asking every employee to complete this short survey. We ask supervisors to ensure their reports complete it so we have an accurate count of on-campus employees to update our testing plans, report to system and help county health officials make plans. Please complete this short form by Friday, Jan. 29.

We have received results from all pooled saliva testing conducted this week. One EOC employee pool was positive, and reflex testing has been completed. All other pools were negative.

The next scheduled pooled saliva testing is Tuesday, Jan. 26, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in STUAC. All students currently living on campus must participate. All employees who are regularly on campus physically should plan to participate as well. To comply with SUNY system’s recent guidelines and our recently approved COVID plan, everyone must be tested weekly.

We now ask that everyone brings their Morrisville ID with them at the time of testing. This will help us record those who show up for testing, and those who will require follow-up.

We also need volunteers to help. If you are able and willing to assist with administering testing, please contact HR Director Dawn Norcross today and let her know.

Please be sure you are registered for a testing profile with suny-covid-test.com before you arrive. If you have participated in pooled saliva testing on campus previously, you should already have an account. Have your username and password ready. When you arrive, you can use the “Register a new test” link, complete the questionnaire up through “I have a test” and we can collect your sample at that time.

Testing for the Norwich Campus is planned from noon to 6 p.m. for Monday, Feb. 1, and Tuesday, Feb. 2, in the Norwich Campus Community Room for both employees and students.

Don’t forget to bring your ID!
