Muncie, IN-In an email from the office of the president, Geoffrey Mearns indicated the University’s plan for testing students and staff who may have COVID-19.
Mearns states that the university requires all students, staff, and facility members to monitor their health daily. Any with potential symptoms of the Corona Virus should not come to campus for class or work.
The student health center on campus will also provide appointments to those who call. They will provide testing to any student who may need it.
If an employee or staff member experiences symptoms, they are urged to get into contact with their primary care provider. If they do not have one, they can contact the Employee Quick Clinic.
