Texas State University students living in on-campus housing and the Bobcat Village Apartments will be required to provide a negative COVID-19 test prior to moving in. Students, faculty and staff received an email from university president, Dr. Denise Trauth, requesting the campus community to take a COVID-19 test before returning from the holiday break.
According to the email, “After discussion with Dr. Carranco and the President’s Cabinet, the university requests that all Texas State University students, faculty, and staff get tested for COVID-19 before returning to our campuses for the spring semester. COVID-19 PCR or antigen tests may be used -- including at-home antigen tests. Testing should be performed within 72 hours (3 days) prior to returning to our campuses.”
The message mentioned that throughout the break, Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Emilio Carranco had been monitoring COVID-19 transmission and infection data related to the Omicron variant.
