COVID-19 Testing Available for Children at Schools, Child Care Settings, and Summer Camps
COVID-19 testing helps reduce community spread and keeps schools, daycare centers and camps operating safely. Testing children who have symptoms and their close contacts helps rapidly detect cases and reduce or prevent outbreaks. Testing also helps protect children who are not yet eligible to be vaccinated. We urge parents and guardians learn more about the benefits of school testing or child care testing. And be sure to ask your child’s school, daycare, or camp about how you can keep your children safe and healthy.
