Dear Tulane Community,
This is a reminder that, all Tulane employees – including those who are working remotely – are required to participate in ongoing surveillance testing throughout the semester. The testing frequency for employees increased for the spring semester. All employees are required to be tested every other week (twice per month). Please monitor you email for your QR code to get tested.
If you have any questions, or you need an additional code, email chtestresults@tulane.edu.
Important COVID Appointment & Test Facts

On your 7th day of quarantine, you will need to get a COVID PCR test if you are NOT experiencing COVID-related symptoms (Rapid Test results will not be accepted to release a person from quarantine).
- You can receive a PCR test at Tulane’s Living Well Clinic or your doctor's office. If you go to the Living Well Clinic you must make an appointment as soon as possible.
- Once you have received your negative test results from the PCR test you received on Day 7 of quarantine, you will need to submit your results for review using the COVID illness reporting form.
