How to get help
Each week, UW–Madison is updating the campus community on expanded COVID-19 testing requirements for the spring semester.
Our strategy for this spring represents a big shift we’re introducing a new app and a saliva-based testing method, and we’re requiring more people to be tested more frequently. The goal is to identify cases quickly to prevent the virus from spreading.
We recognize this shift brings with it challenges and, at times, frustrations. Every day, we are learning and improving the process. We greatly appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation as we work to protect the health and safety of our campus community.
