FORT MYERS, Fla. — Florida Gulf Coast University wants to make sure their students and staff can be tested before and after the Thanksgiving holiday.

The university is providing two at-home COVID-19 saliva tests upon request.

One test will be used prior to travel and the other before returning to campus.

Test kits must be requested before Monday, Nov. 23.

They include instructions on taking the tests and how to return them. It will take 72 hours to get the results, so it's important to plan accordingly.
