Testing
While testing for active COVID-19 is a critical component in helping to prevent the spread of illness, the CDC does not recommend the university test everyone as they return to campus. In accordance with this guidance, UNLV will not be performing widespread testing. Testing locations can be found on the Nevada Health Response website or the Southern Nevada Health District website.
Additionally, the UNLV Student Health Center and the Faculty and Staff Treatment (FAST) Center offer viral testing.
Face Coverings Required
Governor Steve Sisolak mandated all Nevadans and visitors wear a mask or face covering in all public spaces, including outside when six feet of social distancing is not possible.
Face shields are not recommended and are not a substitute for cloth masks or face coverings.
