How to report a positive home test
Students
If you have a positive home COVID-19 test while you are in Binghamton, regardless of whether you live on or off campus:
- Immediately put on a mask and avoid contact with other people.
- Place your test device on a piece of paper. On the paper, write your name, your date
of birth, the date you performed the test and one of the following: the date your
symptoms started or the fact that you are having no symptoms.
-
- Upload a photo of the paper and test device to the patient portal using the "COVID Positive Test Results" function.
- Place the test device in a sealed plastic bag in case a medical professional requests to see it.
-
- Immediately report your positive test result to the Broome County Health Department using this short survey.
- Isolate in the bedroom of your apartment until you are contacted by a University or other health official.
