With the end of the COVID-19 emergency, the Sapienza swabbing campaign for students is also coming to an end. In Italy, recent measures have abolished quarantine for COVID-19 close contacts, who must only self-monitor their symptoms and wear an FFP2 mask for 10 days. Educational activities, therefore, will continue as a priority in person. 

Sapienza swab campaign for students will end on April 13, just before Easter break. 

We wish to thank all Sapienza students who took part in the screening and the Healthcare Profession students who made a fundamental contribution to the campaign.

Do not forget to get your booster dose and follow our 4 small steps for safety: 

• Wash your hands often
• If you have a fever or other symptoms, let's stay home
• Physical distance is paramount
• Wear a face mask

Please note: You cannot access the premises and get tested if you have COVID-19 symptoms!

Thanks to the collaboration of the Lazio Region and Policlinico Umberto I General Hospital, Sapienza is currently offering free SARS-CoV-2 screening tests for students (RT-PCR). The screening campaign has been available since February 25, given the restart of in-person educational activities for students enrolled in all years, in compliance with the security measures.

Beginning May 6, if your swab is negative, a free, voluntary repeat molecular swab is available, provided at least seven days have elapsed between molecular swabs.

A specific screening site has been set up in front of the Ciao-Hello offices, at the main campus, and all the necessary information will be provided. Results will be available 24-36 hours after sampling. The screening site was inaugurated on March 1, by Rectress Antonella Polimeni, in the presence of Lazio Region Health Councillor Alessio D'Amato and Policlinico Umberto I General Manager Fabrizio d'Alba.

For positive cases, measures will be taken to secure both the positive students' families and their classes.
