A smart idea for quick accessibility!

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Case Western Reserve University announced this week that it had converted some of its vending machines to dispense COVID-19 tests for students and staff.

“We are constantly looking for ways to make COVID-19 precautionary measures that help promote in-person learning be more accessible to our faculty, staff, and students,” Koeth said. “We all know that COVID-19 isn’t going away anytime soon. Initiatives like this help with the idea of living with COVID.”

The vending machine option will be available as long as there is a need for tests, and will be restocked several times a day, she said. “If they are positive from a PCR test, they will receive a secure message in their university health record. All CWRU PCR tests are processed in a university lab within the School of Medicine,” she said.
