How Do We Test 1,000 Community Members Every Week?

To safeguard the wellbeing of Dalton community members we have a comprehensive, proactive testing process in place. Each week, we assemble over 1,000 Covid test kits to distribute to over 700 students and 175 faculty and staff who are on campus.
For efficiency, we have converted Room 203 at Big Dalton into our COVID Test Fulfillment Center. Our staff assembles saliva test kits and makes labels for each on-campus student, faculty, and staff member. Each test kit label includes a barcode that links the individual to the test kit number. Finally, we package the kits—organized for distribution by division activity or event.  

If we receive a positive test result, the barcode system identifies the individual, and then we immediately notify them and initiate contact tracing. We’ll continue to refine our procedures to do our best to keep our community safe and healthy.
