Minimum Days of Isolation or Quarantine |

What should I do if I've been identified as a close contact?
Wear a high quality facial covering for 10 days after your last exposure to the COVID-19 positive individual. Take a COVID-19 test (either antigen or PCR) 5-7 days after the exposure. Asymptomatic students, faculty and staff may use Tartan Testing for close contact testing. If you become symptomatic, test immediately. Enrolled students who are symptomatic can participate in Tartan Testing and should contact University Health Services for guidance.

Facial Coverings and Test Vending Machines
Please note: The FDA has issued extended expiration dates for tests based on data showing that the shelf life is longer than was known when the tests were first authorized. If you received a test kit with a November 2022 expiration date, the FDA has extended the expiration dates on these particular test kits to August 2023.
COVID-19 rapid antigen at-home test kits and KN95 masks are available from vending machines in four locations on campus. The vending machines are located at:
- Cohon University Center (Lee Lobby)
- Purnell Center for the Arts (near room 103)
- Baker Hall (140 corridor)

Each vending machine will be stocked on a weekly basis while supplies last.
Using your CMU ID (swipe card), all faculty, staff and students are eligible to vend 1 test kit (1 test in each kit) and 1 package of 2 KN95 masks each week, as supplies are available.
