My positive SARS COV2 antigen test

[Agriculture, Life and Veterinary Sciences, and Cooperative Extension Weekly Bulletin]

Everyone,

Today, because of some extremely mild symptoms and a contact notification, I went to Campus Health to be tested for SARS COV2 antigen and RNA. I have my antigen results and I tested positive for SARS COV2 antigen. I am awaiting my RNA results. I immediately followed UA requirements and guidance here<https://hr.arizona.edu/content/covid-19-positive-case-notification-protocol#Notifications>.

I am extremely mildly symptomatic so far. Not even an elevated body temperature.

Based on the timing of my symptoms, I may have been infected at my medical provider's office or later in the week at the supermarket. Be careful out there.

Best wishes,
Shane




My mask protects you; your mask protects me. We’ve controlled infectious diseases without vaccines for thousands of years. Wearing our masks means we can have a functioning economy and concurrently save thousands of lives.



All UA employees, students and visitors must wear a face covering inside all UA buildings, unless alone in a single occupancy office, and in UA outdoor spaces where continuous physical distancing of at least six feet is difficult or impossible to maintain.
