For this week only, COVID-19 testing that is usually conducted by Monongalia County Health Department at the WVU Rec Center will be held as a drive-through event at Morgantown Municipal Airport.
“Because of WVU’s graduation plans, the WVU Rec Center will not be available next week for our regular testing,” said Jamie Moore, MCHD Threat Preparedness program manager.
As usual, testing will take place from 9-11 a.m. Monday (May 10) and Friday (May 14).
The airport can be accessed via two entrances off Hartman Run Road: one close to the Mileground near the top of the road and another one further down Hartman Run Road. The address is 100 Hart Field Road.
“There will be signs, so people shouldn’t have any trouble finding us,” Moore said.
Testing will return to the WVU Rec Center on May 17 and for the next few months, will be held from 9 a.m.-noon on Mondays and Fridays.
Testing for community members and WVU have been combined, Moore noted, with WVU conducting testing on Mondays and the health department conducting it on Fridays.
As a reminder, WVU’s COVID-19 testing dashboard (Morgantown, Beckley and Keyser) transitions from campus-specific results to link to the daily reporting data from the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources beginning today (May 10).
Also, WVU has launched a COVID-19 Vaccine Verification System for students, faculty and staff. All students, faculty and staff who have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19 must verify their vaccination with the University by Aug. 1. Those who do not complete the verification process will be considered unvaccinated this fall.
Employees and students can access the Vaccine Verification System and complete the acknowledgement form via StarRez (WVU’s housing portal): myhousing.wvu.edu. View full instructions on the Return to Campus website. There will be a page that shows the current vaccination rate of the campus community. The page will be updated every Tuesday.
