Two Additional At-Home COVID-19 Tests Offered to Campus Employees

Section 1

January 14, 2022

Dear colleagues:

UCI has managed to secure additional at-home COVID-19 antigen tests for distribution to campus employees. You may pick up two additional tests next week, Tuesday, January 18 – Thursday, January 20, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. while supplies last. As a reminder, Monday, January 17 is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and tests will not be distributed on this date. 

The tests can be picked up at the kiosk located just off West Peltason Drive between Campus Drive and Pereira Drive, adjacent to the Mesa Court housing parking lot. Please follow on-site directional signage.

Proof of employment will be required to obtain your tests. Please bring ID and a NON-FORWARDED copy of this ZotMail with you, either as a hard copy or on your phone. Alternatively, you may show your employee photo ID card. 

If you use an at-home test and test positive, please do the following:

  1. Do not come on-site. 
  2. Report your case following instructions on the Report a COVID Case page. 
  3. Do not call or wait for a call from the UCI Center for Occupational and Environmental Health (COEH) or Contact Tracing and Vaccine Navigation Services (CTVNS). CTVNS has prioritized student cases in on-campus housing and employee cases for case interviews, but there may be a delay in response time due to high case volumes being reported.
  4. Go to the UCI Isolation and Quarantine web page for directions on isolation, quarantining, and return-to-work clearance.

All campus employees may continue to test at any UCI testing location for any reason in addition to using the at-home tests. Click here for a complete list of UCI campus testing locations and hours.

If you have questions, please contact UCI COVID Response Center (CRC) at covid19@uci.edu or 949.824.9918 Monday-Friday from 7:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. 

Thank you for doing your part to keep our Anteater community well.
