COVID-19 Testing
Emory provides two types of COVID-19 tests for all students, faculty, and staff: Screening Test for those who are asymptomatic (no signs of COVID-19) and Diagnostic Test for those who are symptomatic (showing signs of COVID-19) or possibly exposed to COVID-19.
Please do not visit the Emory screening locations if you are symptomatic.
The Oxford screening site is at Murdy Hall near Student Health Services.
Mask Guidance
Masks are optional indoors in most spaces on Emory’s campuses.
Exceptions include the following:
- Masks will still be required on all Emory shuttles and public transportation until further notice.
- Masks will still be required indefinitely in clinical, patient care, and select research facilities on campus, including but not limited to Student Health Services.
Visitor Policy
Visitors can access campus; however, certain public-facing spaces may enforce additional restrictions or limitations including reduced services, scheduled appointments, vaccination requirements, or other measures. To support this safe and healthy environment, all visitors, vendors, suppliers, service providers, and anyone else accessing campus are strongly encouraged to be vaccinated for COVID-19.
