COVID-19 Testing for Kids and Families
Youth and their families regularly involved in activities outside of the home are strongly encouraged to participate in testing every other week, and more frequently (weekly) if distancing cannot be maintained in extracurricular activities. Maintain situational awareness and be alert to unusual patterns of illness or COVID activity in your school buildings, activities, district and county. If you are seeing rapid spread and high attack rates (both among exposed persons and their household members/close contacts) please reach out to your regional team to discuss.
