     Earlier this month we shared that free COVID-19 testing will be available at Texas A&M-Kingsville through an agreement between the Texas A&M University System and Curative Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The launch of the Curative Inc. online registration website for the testing has been delayed. We will notify the campus community when testing registration becomes available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing is only available to students with a valid K#, and faculty and staff with a valid University Identification Number. Faculty, staff and students from the Rangel College of Pharmacy are also eligible for testing. Testing will be prioritized as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7         Individuals experiencing COVID-19 symptoms<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7         Individuals who have been identified as a close contact of a COVID-19 positive individual<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7         Those with programmatic needs (athletes, interns, etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7         Groups who may have been exposed to someone with the virus<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to limited testing resources, family members of faculty, staff, and students, alumni and third-party vendors are not eligible for on-campus testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Individuals are encouraged to continue to self-monitor and should get tested if experiencing COVID-19 symptoms<\/a>; or if they suspect they have been exposed to someone with COVID-19, such as through close contact (close contact is defined by the CDC as being within 6 feet of a COVID-19 case for a period greater than 15 minutes at any time beginning 48 hours before the individual had symptoms, regardless of wearing a face mask.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
