Sequential Coronavirus Testing for Student and Faculty
College, university, and school district campuses have the perfect conditions for contracting and quickly spreading the coronavirus. Consequently, COVID-19 threatens to shut down classes, suspend sports, and close campuses this year.
Combine the impacts of coronavirus with rising concerns over applying to colleges, student debt, the growing number of white-collar jobs that do not require bachelor’s degrees, and the increasing popularity of “gap years” and it’s easy to understand why coronavirus is greatly accelerating concerns of the “college bubble” bursting.
Colleges and school districts simply can’t afford to let fears and anxieties around coronavirus be the reason students, faculty, and staff continue to not return to school.
Colleges and school districts partnering with GENETWORx offer comprehensive testing protocols while preserving the quality of life for students, faculty, and staff.

Coronavirus Testing Beyond Campus
It is equally imperative that colleges have extensive testing protocols and that those protocols don’t prevent students, faculty, and staff from leading an enjoyable lifestyle away from campus.
GENETWORx has created a safe-perimeter program that allows participating businesses and venues around the college to implement the same testing protocols and security systems that identify and suppress COVID-19 infections.
This low-cost offering will help the community thrive when schools reopen. The system also extends reporting and contact-tracing to create a safer environment overall.

University FAQs
Parents and students will “opt out” from returning to school if they do not feel safe.
If those who return are not tested, there is serious risk of a renewed and substantial outbreak, specific to that university.
A university can use sequential testing as a selling tool to “INCREASE” enrollment.
GENETWORx provides updated dashboards on each of the sequential dates when testing occurs. Reporting will include who was tested, who has not been tested, and test results. Quarantine standards and protocol is established in partnership with the school. GENETWORx also reports directly to the governmental agencies and provides digital contact tracing capability within its software.
Aura allows users to carry a traditional security badge or a printed QR code to gain acess to the safe perimeter in the same way the smartphone app will. Your QR code will not change and will always be tied to your more recent test results, so you don’t need to worry about reprinting QR codes after each testing period.
The GENETWORx sequential testing for population management system will send you regular reminders when you are due for tests as well as notify you when you’ve missed your scheduled test.
You will also have the ability to request a different testing date and time in the event you have a scheduling conflict or an emergency.
Students who fail to submit a test and have an outdated QR code will be denied access inside the safe perimeter and campus facilities. Depending on the state and federal regulations, your school may require you stay in quarantine until an up-to-date test is processed.
Sure! While the school has to maintain testing protocols to meet federal and state regulations, GENETWORx gives you the option to request a different date or time for your test if a conflict arises. So long as you aren’t breaking state and federal guidelines or your school’s policies, you are allowed to periodically move the date and time of your weekly test.
Every student, faculty member, and employee on campus will be registered with the GENETWORx portal which automatically schedules testing sequences. If you are using the Aura software, your phone will send you reminders for your tests every week. If you aren’t using the Aura smartphone app, you will receive reminders via email every week. Students can also check the Aura website for testing dates.
Theoretically, yes. The GENETWORx sequential testing for population management program is not intended to eradicate the presence or transmission of COVID-19. GENETWORx is the most accurate and comprehensive way to identify and suppress COVID-19 on college campuses. Sequential testing is the most effective way to sample the college population–students, faculty, and staff–and catch cases of COVID-19 early on.
Using contact tracing, the health center can order testing of select individuals or groups to help identify any transmissions and order distancing and quarantine protocols to mitigate the spread. Aside from isolated-quarantining, sequential testing is the absolute best way to mitigate the risks of COVID-19 infection and outbreak.
The cost varies based on the testing sequence per semester per student. We will bill the student. We will also provide recourse financing to the university for the student thereby minimizing the cost to the university. In some cases, the first test can be reimbursed entirely by insurance.
