Austin ISD offering free COVID tests Monday (en español)

Families and staff who live and work in zip codes designated as COVID-19 hot spot can access a free COVID-19 rapid test at one of four drive-thru events this Monday, Aug. 16 from 7-11 a.m.

Why it matters: Testing is one of the screening tools we have to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19 in our schools. It’s possible that someone can carry COVID without knowing it, so mass testing gives families the information they need to make the right decision.
