CWRU COVID Game Day Protocol and Policies
Testing
CWRU requires all faculty, students, and staff to test weekly. This policy meets or exceeds the standards in the NCAA's Resocialization of College Sport: Developing Standards for Practice and Competition, Second Edition.
The university has engaged Vault Health to provide a saliva test for the novel coronavirus. The test, RT-qPCR, detects specific genes from the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19. A sample of saliva, the virus's genetic material is extracted, and a laboratory test looks for these specific genes. If they are detected, the test is considered positive (a person is positive for SARS-CoV-2).
