Hey, I see that they're doing testing in the tent in Gould Plaza again. Who's it for?
Any current NYU student or employee, really, other than students living in residence halls, who should carry on with the saliva tests.
We're doing nearly 12,000 saliva tests per week. But some people still prefer the nasal test, or find it inconvenient to pick up a saliva test kit, do the test somewhere appropriate, and return it.
So, we've reopened testing at the tent, powered by BioReference Labs, on Gould Plaza (in front of the Stern School of Business) to:
- Provide an alternative to the saliva test.
- Add capacity, especially in the aftermath of Halloween, election related celebrations, and as we go into and come back from Thanksgiving (you'll be hearing more on that from us soon).
Another nice aspect of the tent testing: the results typically come back more quickly.
