The Federal Government has reopened COVIDtests.gov. Every household can order four over-the-counter COVID-19 tests for free. These tests are intended for use throughout the 2024 holiday season to detect currently circulating COVID-19 variants. Please visit COVIDtests.gov for your free test.

 
Monitoring of indoor air quality is under the auspices of DPH. So far one program has been identified as a possible source for indoor air quality information: the Tools for Schools Program. This program trains school staff on protocol for indoor air monitoring.  An identified team at each school uses a check list to review items such as: Is the classroom clean? Have trash cans been collected? Are there any leaks in the roof? How is the ventilation system? and so on.   The information is currently used to make recommendations to the school system.  The program is in an early phase of implementation.
