Many Georgetown students, faculty and staff have visited COVID-19 testing sites on campus to provide nasal swabs for PCR testing. Since November 2020, more than 249,000 samples have made their way to Georgetown’s COVID-19 testing lab for analysis with results in as little as five to 10 hours. |

With the University’s COVID-19 positivity rate and case load remaining low last week, and the District of Columbia’s community level also designated as “low,” Georgetown’s mask-optional policy will begin on Monday, March 21, on the Main and Medical Center campuses.
To help foster a respectful and inclusive environment as we adjust to this policy in classrooms and offices, the Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship (CNDLS) has developed a teaching and learning guide, and the Department of Human Resources has developed a workplace guide.
