As families with students return from spring break travel and vacations, one northern Colorado school district is trying to get ahead of any possible spread of COVID-19 in the classroom.
Poudre School District, which largely serves Fort Collins, is handing out 1,500 at-home COVID-19 tests to families as they return from a week off of school.
Since students returned to classes from spring break, the district has been handing out free at-home tests at several schools following classes dismissing for the day. The tests were obtained through the State of Colorado. PSD was given nearly 7,800 tests to hand out this year. PSD plans to hand out tests from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m., or while supplies last, on Thursday at Fossil Ridge High. Friday’s event, with similar hours, is scheduled for Poudre High School.
“We can provide up to four tests per vehicle,” Henry told CBS4’s Dillon Thomas. “Just pull through, we’ll hand you some tests and you’re on your way.”“According to state guidelines, if you have any symptoms, you need to test before returning to school,” Henry said.
