Students to complete COVID-19 home testing prior to return on campus
Before arriving on campus, Notre Dame students will be required to provide a specimen for a COVID-19 PCR test, the coronavirus response unit said in an email Wednesday.Students will be mailed a home collection kit to their current place of residence by LabCorp, who will process the results. Specimen collection will be staggered depending on when students plan to arrive on campus, and by July 15, all students will be notified by when they must complete their test.“The kit package will include a set of instructions for how to collect a home specimen from the anterior nasal passage and how to send it back to LabCorp for processing,” Christine Caron Gebhardt, assistant vice president for student services and Tracy Skibins, senior director of emergency management, said in the email.The specimen must be returned to a FedEx Drop Box on the same day as collection. Otherwise, it cannot be processed and students will be charged a $75 replacement fee.LabCorp will provide University Health Services (UHS) with the results, and once they are confirmed, students will receive an email to view the test results. Students who test negative will be cleared to return to campus.“UHS will let Residential Life know the on-campus students who are cleared to return to campus, though test results will not be shared,” the email said. “Students moving on-campus will receive a confirmation email from Residential Life confirming their move-in appointment.”Students who test positive may not return to campus even if they are asymptomatic, and UHS will contact these students for clearance.“If you become ill with symptoms of COVID-19 or are exposed to someone with COVID-19 between the time of your test and your arrival, you must delay travel and contact your health care provider for evaluation,” the email said.Tags: coronavirus response unit, COVID-19, pre matriculation
The monarch—Liz.
Her most powerful subject—Maggie. Two enduring icons born six months apart. One destined to rule, the other elected to lead. But when the stiff upper lip softened and the gloves came off, which one had the upper hand? Handbagged is the new comedy that opens the clasp on the relationship between two giants of the 20th Century. Buffini’s play speculates on that most provocative of questions: What did the world’s most powerful women talk about behind closed doors? Marion Bailey (“Q,” an older Queen Elizabeth II), Stella Gonet (“T,” an older Margaret Thatcher), Fenella Woolgar (Mags), Neet Mohan (Nancy Reagan/Neil Kinnock/Kenneth Kaunda/Robert Runcie) and Jeff Rawle (Ronald Reagan/Denis Thatcher/Peter Carrington/Geoffrey Howe) will reprise their original roles. They will be joined by Lucy Robinson (Liz) to complete the company. Two completely different worlds, one forced weekly meeting. Endless cups of tea. The Tricycle Theatre’s sold-out production of Moira Buffini’s Handbagged is set to transfer to the West End with a limited engagement April 3 through August 2 at the Vaudeville Theatre. Directed by Tricycle’s Artistic Director Indhu Rubasingham, opening night is set for April 10. Buffini’s plays include Women, Power & Politics, Welcome To Thebes, Dinner, Dying For It and Marianne Dreams. Her screenplays include Tamara Drewe, Jane Eyre and Byzantium. She recently directed her first short film, Father. The production will feature set design by Richard Kent, lighting design by Oliver Fenwick, and sound design by Carolyn Downing.
