Question
What should schools do if they don’t have a registered nurse (RN) employed or contracted with the school to perform COVID-19 tests?
Answer

For schools without an RN available to perform COVID-19 tests, an option may be to offer or provide take-home COVID-19 rapid tests or have parents/legal guardians test the student. Staff members can hand a rapid COVID-19 test to students/parents and staff for individual or self-administered use.
