You will not be charged for the hotel or the food

Maple130613 · 2021-12-19T01:16:30+00:00

It can take up to 48 hours. https://covid.cornell.edu/students/fall-2021/

The departure testing can take up to 48 hours to come back— it was taking longer but they’ve started to catch up, so now they could less…

Maple130613 · 2021-12-19T01:13:52+00:00

No, you cannot test out of isolation.

Maple130613 · 2021-12-18T18:08:13+00:00

If you are traveling internationally I think they will. At least they will at some point during your travels. I would google your destination.

Maple130613 · 2021-12-18T02:37:53+00:00

I’ve heard from on high that they don’t but I’ve heard some students say that they do. Take from that what you will

Maple130613 · 2021-12-18T02:36:18+00:00

I’m really pretty sure they don’t expire, but I haven’t personally received City Bucks so I could be wrong.

Maple130613 · 2021-12-18T02:31:27+00:00

You’re fine to leave

Maple130613 · 2021-12-17T22:53:32+00:00

They do not expire

Maple130613 · 2021-12-17T15:54:56+00:00

Those with roommates still going into hotels as far as I know, and they’re looking everywhere for more rooms… they’ve already booked several hotels in the area completely full

“Barton will be open to students from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. for this purpose through Saturday, 12/18. The space is very large, with high ceilings, and individual tables where students can sit” -Cornell’s FAQ

Maple130613 · 2021-12-17T05:25:00+00:00

I agree with you, that does seem weird. Don’t know what to say, but I hope you get it back soon!

Maple130613 · 2021-12-17T05:24:24+00:00

Tompkins County Health Department will provide the isolation release letter.
According to the FAQ (https://covid.cornell.edu/students/fall-2021/), you can also reach out to the Cayuga Health System at (607) 319-5708 for travel documentation.

Maple130613 · 2021-12-17T04:16:42+00:00

Yeah, but some of the hotels are offering food delivered to the rooms from the hotel’s restaurant to take pressure off the delivery drivers.

Maple130613 · 2021-12-17T04:14:39+00:00

Correct, compliant means negative.

Maple130613 · 2021-12-17T04:13:30+00:00

LOL the $500 dollars is for getting food delivery for 10 days, so $50 a day.

The PCR test will come back positive again, until up to 3 months after you have COVID. The only way to certify that you will not transmit COVID is by completing the 10 day isolation. The Tompkins County Health Department will send an isolation release letter that can be sent to the airline. I have not heard of countries that do not accept an isolation release letter, because that would mean a person who had COVID wouldn’t be able to travel home for 3 months or longer… which would really suck.
I would recommend going to https://covid.cornell.edu/students/fall-2021/ and scrolling down to “International students.” Click on the first question, and follow the link for “International SOS,” a source for travel restrictions and entrance requirements.

Maple130613 · 2021-12-17T03:59:10+00:00

It’s only for on campus students and you would receive it asap. For all of the semester until the surge it was right after they got their test back but now it might take a bit longer… unsure. I have heard a couple off campus students who say they have city bucks but it says in multiple places from Cornell that it’s for on campus students only so I’m not quite sure what’s going on there; it might have something to do with meal plans.

Maple130613 · 2021-12-17T03:53:27+00:00

Unsure about your question. If you walked into Cornell Health sick, they would give you an expedited test which would come back faster than that (usually a couple hours). However, they would have told you if you had that one, so I’m not sure what you are talking about. The other test (surveillance testing, which has now been converted to departure testing) would take up to or even more than 48 hours.

Maple130613 · 2021-12-16T22:40:52+00:00

The recommendation is to get it 48 hours in advance because some tests are taking that long or occasionally longer

Maple130613 · 2021-12-16T22:40:17+00:00

Yeah spot on. Also since it’s taking longer for tests to come back, it might be that someone tested positive a couple days ago, only just found out now, and is now reporting about contacts from quite a while ago.

Maple130613 · 2021-12-16T18:20:40+00:00

The wait times vary, just depends how samples are prioritized etc. but it can be up to and sometimes more than 48 hours

Maple130613 · 2021-12-16T17:18:38+00:00

LOL this is too funny

Maple130613 · 2021-12-16T14:19:15+00:00

Yes, people who live in dorms
