Connecticut State Department of Public Health

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.

 
The Department and Board are currently in the process of implementing a 1,000 hour curriculum that upon completion, applicants will be eligible for a barber license.  There are two components to this implementation: 
  • Inspection of the school and approval of the school's curriculum curriculum; and
  • Development and implementation of a barber only examination in the English and Spanish languages.  Applicants will not be eligible for a barber license via this route until the applicant completes an approved 1,000 hour curriculum and successfully completes the barber only examination.  It is expected that the examination will be available in January 2013.
