Students from outside the Atlantic region arrived in Antigonish this week to begin their two weeks of self-isolation. The university recommends students should get one COVID-19 test on day 6,7 or 8 of their quarantine. Appointments should be booked up to three days in advance by completing the COVID-19 self-assessment.
