Cougar Health Services and the National Guard have stopped COVID‑19 testing in Pullman today.

Heavy smoke from regional wildfires has resulted in deteriorating air quality on the WSU Pullman campus, which also suspended its non-essential operations at noon. COVID‑19 testing will resume when conditions improve, though Cougar Health Services will remain closed through Saturday, Sept. 12.

Crisis services are still available 24/7, and if immediate medical assistance is needed, contact 911.
