Federal health officials announced Wednesday they will send COVID-19 tests to schools this winter, allowing schools to place orders starting in early December.
“The Biden-Harris Administration remains a committed partner with schools in keeping our students and teachers safe and healthy,” said the Department of Education’s secretary for policy development, Roberto Rodriguez. “These self-tests are easy to use and can play an important role in preventing the spread of COVID-19. We encourage schools to make use of these free resources to safeguard students, parents, and staff throughout the 2023–24 school year.”
