Princeton University Testing Faculty, Staff Who May Have Been Exposed to Measles

Members of the Princeton University faculty and staff who were told to remain off-campus until they provide proof of protection against measles can be tested for the disease this weekend.

Those providing proof through blood tests at Employee Health Services in McCosh Health Center may get tested for free through 7 p.m. on Friday, and between 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, according to the University.

Faculty and staff were told to remain off-campus after an undergraduate student at Princeton University was diagnosed with a suspected case of measles earlier this week.

With members of faculty and staff being asked to remain off-campus, staffing levels in some departments and offices on campus have been reduced temporarily.

Arrangements have been made to continue providing services, and updates about changes in services on campus, including Campus Dining, are available on this website.

If any classes are canceled or rescheduled, the affected students will be notified directly by the instructor.

According to the University, the student visited the following locations on campus while they may have been contagious:

• 1938 Hall
• Baker Hall
• Blair Hall
• Frick Chemistry building
• Friend Center
• Holder Hall
• McCosh Health Center
• Spelman Hall
• Wallace Hall
• Whitman College dining hall
• and evening and weekend hours in Frist Campus Center, Dillon Gymnasium and New South.

Anyone who may have visited these locations between Feb. 4 and Feb. 8 was asked to remain off-campus until they provided proof of protection against the Measles.
