Even if you test negative for the virus, FSU says you should continue to quarantine until Sunday, Sept. 6.
"If necessary, students should contact instructors and inform them they will not be attending any face-to-face classes for two weeks," the university wrote in a message sent to students. "Faculty should not require documentation of illness related to COVID-19, but if you are in need of a letter of support the Office of Case Management Services can assist you."
Free testing/retesting for FSU students at the Donald L. Tucker Center COVID Test Site is available by appointment and on-site registration. To register, visit the University Health Services Testing website here.
