TESTING, TESTING, TRACING

The rigorous schedule for testing for the novel coronavirus continues on the Tulane campuses this spring. Students are required to participate in ongoing surveillance testing throughout the semester regardless of vaccine status or the presence of antibodies from a previous COVID-19 infection. Masking and social distancing guidelines are also still in effect. The COVID-19 Dashboard on the Tulane website tracks the results of the testing, both positive and negative, for students, faculty and staff. Active cases, including students in isolation in Paterson Hall and the Jung Hotel and in quarantine at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, are also documented in real time. Throughout the pandemic, Tulane’s positivity rate has remained substantially lower than the city’s and state’s.
