Hello Norse Nation,

Due to the recent increase in cases from the Omicron variant, beginning Tuesday, January 18 and continuing for the next few weeks, Gravity Diagnostics will once again be providing COVID testing on campus.

Testing is located in the University Center, Room 204 and is available Monday through Thursday from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. It is open to all NKU students, staff, and faculty. You will need to present an NKU All Card. As a reminder, if you have insurance, please bring your insurance card, and you must provide a photo ID. Please note that testing that is not medically necessary may not be covered by your health insurance, and you will be responsible for the cost.

The best prevention against serious illness from COVID-19 is to get vaccinated. As always, COVID-19 vaccinations, boosters, and flu vaccinations are available by scheduling an appointment with NKU’s Health Services (859-572-5650). Please note that in order to prioritize student wellness during the current surge, all appointments for faculty and staff will be limited to the hours of 8:30 to 10:00 a.m. Monday through Friday.

Help us keep our campus community safe and healthy. Norse protects Norse!

Dr. Eddie Howard
