Title: Reminder: COVID-19 Testing After Spring Break

Dear Students,

We hope you had a safe, healthy and restful spring break. As a reminder, students who traveled outside of the DC region (i.e., DC, Maryland, Virginia) during spring break will need to take a PCR test either within 48 hours before returning to the DC region or within 24 hours after arriving in the DC region. Students who stayed in the DC region do not need to test at the end of spring break.

  • If you have tested positive in the previous 90 days, you do not need to test. However, if you develop new symptoms common to COVID-19, please report them through the University’s COVID-19 Symptom Check-In survey.
  • If you get tested through a third-party healthcare provider (i.e., not One Medical), you must report your test results to Georgetown by submitting the COVID Test Result Submission Form.
  • If you test positive for COVID-19 or are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 while you are away from campus, please do not travel and do not come to campus. Please report your infection or any symptoms through the University’s COVID-19 Symptom Check-In survey. Please also notify your instructors if you test positive.

If you have any questions, please contact the University’s Care Navigator team at covidcarenavigator@georgetown.edu.

Thank you for taking this important step to protect the health and safety of the Georgetown community.

Sincerely,
Ranit Mishori, M.D., MHS, FAAFP

Professor of Family Medicine, Vice President and Chief Public Health Officer
