Beginning this fall, at-home test kits will be available on the CFAES Wooster campus. This supplemental testing is optional and designed to help keep you and those around you safe and healthy. Test kits will be available, during regular business hours, in the following locations:
- Student Activity Center – front desk
- ATI Library – front desk
- Wooster Campus Research Library – front desk
There is a limit of two boxes per visit. Each box contains Abbott’s BinaxNOW™ COVID-19 Ag At-Home Test Kit (6 Pack). These rapid antigen test kits are self-administered and can be used at your discretion throughout the fall.
The university will not directly receive your test results from these kits, but local public health authorities will be notified. Ohio State students and employees using these tests should report their positive test result to the university as part of the regular process for reporting outside test results via My BuckMD or by contacting the Contact Tracing and Case Investigation Team (CICTT) at 614-688-2273.
You must use the eMed Telehealth provider with these test kits (instructions are included in the test kit). Visit ohio.emed.com to begin your virtual visit using the associated app.
