Ohio University has contracted with CVS to expand its asymptomatic COVID-19 testing capabilities on the Athens campus. Vault Health will remain the University’s main asymptomatic testing program for regular asymptomatic testing.
“CVS will be used for wide net testing and as an alternative to Vault for those who have an approved accommodation due to inability to produce saliva,” special assistant to the president for public health operations Gillian Ice said.
CVS uses Mesa Biotech’s Accula SARS-CoV-2 rapid PCR test. There is no cost for students or employees to take the test, and results are available electronically in 30 minutes. Those who are asked to test with CVS will receive a link via email to schedule a test. The CVS testing center is in Grosvenor West 111.
