COVID-19 Testing Survey

Tompkins Chamber & Downtown Ithaca Alliance Testing Survey

As college students return to our community and we continue to navigate this pandemic environment over the long term, the Chamber and DIA are seeking to understand the COVID-19 testing needs for our local business community. We have been discussing options for workforce surveillance testing with Cayuga Medical Center (CMC), and need a better understanding of how testing may or may not affect your operation, and what you and your employees may need access to in the days and months ahead.

Please take this survey only once, if you receive it multiple times.
