ENTRY TESTING ADMINISTERED BETWEEN AUGUST 17 AND AUGUST 31, 2020

Fort Hays State University engaged the Clinical Reference Laboratory (CRL) to provide free and voluntary COVD-19 test kits to all on-campus faculty, staff, and students. This testing provided a one-time snapshot to help inform our community members of their COVID-19 status at the start of the fall semester. It also provided university leadership with a baseline of data regarding the state of COVID-19 among the university population. Awareness of asymptomatic or early-stage COVID-19 diagnosis enabled students, faculty, and staff to manage positive diagnosis through isolation and medical care as necessary. CRL entry testing results will not be included in the weekly COVID-19 dashboard report data.

1,132	Total tested by CRL
127	Positive results
