Immigration status is irrelevant to getting tested.

  • From CU’s Facebook page: Todos somos parte de esta comunidad, el estado de Utah requiere de tu apoyo siguiendo las recomendaciones que el Departamento de Salud y los hospitales como el de la Universidad de Utah estan dando. Estar en casa y salir solo a lo necesario; lavarse las manos con agua y jabon y no saludar de beso en estos momentos seran pasos grandes que puedes apoyar para evitar el contagio de este virus. Nosotros somos la solucion! El número de teléfono temporal para preguntas relacionadas con el coronavirus (COVID-19) es 1-844-442-5224. Te atenderan en Español.
