MIT community support rooted in world faiths.
Graduate students who return to on-campus housing are required to receive a no-cost COVID-19 test from MIT Medical. At this time, MIT Medical is scheduling these tests Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. This is a fluid situation, however, and testing times are subject to change. You will be notified by email with an appointment time for your test.
MIT Medical will continue to report aggregated data about faculty, staff, and students who test positive for COVID-19. We will not make community-wide notifications regarding positive tests. However, MIT is following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention contact-tracing protocols. You will be notified if you are suspected to have been exposed to a COVID-19 positive individual.
MIT wants to ensure that no student is struggling with food security, and we have established several resources that can help you easily access food. You may also contact covid-support@mit.edu for assistance or to discuss any barriers you are experiencing in getting food. Students who are self-quarantining should limit departures from their rooms, wear a face covering, and follow all physical distancing and hand hygiene practices. Students may also consider private food delivery services such as Instacart, Amazon Fresh, etc.
Yes. Residents who are self-quarantining may have neighbors from their own building (who are not self-quarantining) deliver items outside of their room. Items should be retrieved only after the neighbor has departed (ensuring at least six feet distance from the door). Items being delivered by someone who does not live within the residence hall must be left at the front desk where the student may retrieve them while wearing a face-covering and avoiding touching door handles directly or using elevators.
