Voluntary Report for Timely Mitigation 

Consistent with our core values, hospitality and community, employees and students, shall voluntarily self-report symptoms, or contact with a known COVID-19 positive. 

COVID-19 testing differs by location. The time to obtain test results depends on the test used. COVID-19 testing protocol varies by location.  Campus wide testing is currently not recommended by local health officials.  Students with symptoms of COVID-19, should call Health Services.  Employee should contact their healthcare provider. Visit the McPherson County Department of Health or KDHE, for the latest information on testing for our region. 

Note: The College has no control over charges for administering a test, laboratory services or whether or not insurance covers such expenses and is not able to pay for tests of students or employees. 

Notification of Test Results

According to health officials, general communication of a COVID-19 test results is initiated by the county health department in the county of the residence reported by the person who is tested or by the provider or facility who ordered or performed the test. Positive test results are first communicated to the patient and information is gathered by the county health department for contact tracing. The county health department will release case confirmations. 

See Internal Contact Tracing

In situations that a McPherson County (or Bethany College) address is not used the College may or may NOT be directly informed about the result of a COVID-19 test.

Anyone who has symptoms and tests positive for COVID-19 must isolate:

• for 10 calendar days and (in addition to 10 days) 
• be fever free without fever reducing medication for 72 hours and 
• experience an improvement all other symptom.
