Departure Testing Results Arriving Now and Expected By Tuesday, November 24: The University of Maine System Safe Departure Testing is being offered in part to provide students traveling home for Thanksgiving a COVID-19 test result. Collection of samples has been ongoing this week and will be mostly complete on the campuses by the close of business on Friday, November 20th.
More than 1,500 results already are completed and available to individuals who tested. The results are expected to continue to arrive in the coming days, including through the weekend and into next week. Some test results may take slightly longer than has been the case so far this semester due the current surge in cases and testing which Manie and the nation are experiencing. The advanced planning and testing schedules on the campuses should result in all or nearly all safe departure test results being known by Tuesday, November 24.
