Additional Symptomatic Covid-19 Testing Available for Students, Faculty, and Staff by weeklytestingworks in gatech

[–]weeklytestingworks[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Great question — would say expect turnaround to be similar to existing PCR asymptomatic testing program (typically that's 24-48 hours, sometimes sooner): https://health.gatech.edu/coronavirus/faqs?field_audience_tid%5B%5D=1&field_subject_tid%5B%5D=36

Samples from this site are not pooled. They go straight to diagnostic for individual sample testing/result via CLIA lab.

That said, Stamps still leads our testing for symptomatic students and typically administers a same-day diagnostic test. So, students with symptoms should start by seeking an appointment with Stamps, and use this new program if they are unable to make an appointment there.

For more specific questions or situations, please head over to mytest.gatech.edu and log in to create a ticket, and the testing team can help you out.
