The University of Pittsburgh has partnered with Quest to offer unobserved self-collected PCR tests for faculty and staff.
Faculty and staff should only order a test if you have been identified as one of the following:
- A close contact through exposure to someone who has COVID-19. The first step is to begin to quarantine immediately. If the exposure happened on campus, please call MyHealth@Work at 412-647-4949. If the exposure happened off campus, order the Quest kit and use it on day eight or later of your quarantine.
- Working in an area identified as a localized outbreak on campus
- Testing after travel (University business or personal travel). If you are testing after travel, you should quarantine at home until you receive a negative test result.
If you receive a positive test result after travel, please contact MyHealth@Work at 412-647-4949.
If you order a Quest test kit, you must use it. It cannot be shared with anyone as results are reported to the county health department and the University. You can order an additional kit once you receive results from an earlier order.
Additional details, including how to get started and how to request a test, are available online.
