Free COVID-19 testing kits available at OHIO throughout November and December

Ohio University will be making additional COVID-19 rapid antigen tests available at no charge to all students, faculty and staff in November and December, while supplies last.

Rapid antigen tests can be a helpful tool to prevent the transmission of COVID-19. Antigen tests detect the presence of a specific viral antigen, which implies current viral infection. 

Beginning Nov. 14, students, faculty and staff can pick up a maximum of four tests at any of the locations listed below. Individuals travelling for University research or creative activity purposes during the winter break can receive tests from the Research Office by filling out this request form.
