Starting April 8, the COVID-19 Testing Center will no longer be open on Fridays, an April 6 “MHC This Week” email announced. At the senate Town Hall that took place on April 5, Cheryl Flynn, the director of Health Services at the College, said that the recent change in hours is due to staffing shortages at the testing center.
Students are still required to get tested twice a week, with their first testing day being Monday or Tuesday. The email suggested that students formerly on a Monday/Thursday schedule should now be on a Monday/Wednesday schedule, and those formerly on a Tuesday/Friday schedule should move to a Tuesday/Thursday schedule. There must be at least one day in between testing days. Employees are still required to get tested once a week.
Testing center hours are from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Any questions about testing should be sent to mhc-testing-g@mtholyoke.edu.
