Testing Your Student at Home as They Return from Break
California encourages all school children to access at-home COVID-19 testing as they return to school following breaks.
California encourages parents to:
-
Test their children for COVID-19 as they return back to school from break, and
-
Share the test results with their local health department via the Primary.Health link sent by your school or, if you did not receive a school link, report via the Primary.Health website or by accessing Primary.Health with a smartphone (by scanning a QR code).
Please use the following resources to encourage parents to access at-home COVID-19 testing as they send their children back to school following breaks.
Please also visit our Testing & COVID-19 toolkit for additional resources.
School administrators, please email schoolOTC@cdph.ca.gov with questions.
