Free tests are available each week for students, faculty and staff not showing symptoms
TourHealth , an innovative COVID-19 testing solution, has been rolled out at the University of Mississippi in Oxford, Miss., to test asymptomatic students, faculty and staff. Testing began at the beginning of September and is available at no cost through October 31 on the Ole Miss campus.
The university partnered with TourHealth to administer the rapid antigen test to diagnose active coronavirus infections and provide same-day results. In addition to clinical testing, TourHealth features a seamless customer experience with appointment scheduling and customer support through the Gov2Go app, as well as result reporting to individuals, university officials and state government.
TourHealth is a partnership with NIC Inc., Impact Health Biometric Testing Inc., and Next Marketing leveraging 80 years of combined experience and bringing together industry leaders in digital solutions, health care and logistics. In addition to the University of Mississippi, TourHealth currently has four testing locations in south Florida, where more than 40,000 people have been tested since early August.
“We are very pleased to partner with the University of Mississippi to keep students, faculty and staff safe during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond,” said Doug Rogers, NIC Senior Vice President of Strategic Initiatives. “TourHealth is directly aligned with NIC’s mission of making essential government services, in this case vital coronavirus testing, more accessible for people across the country.”
