Weeks after President Joe Biden announced plans to end coronavirus pandemic emergencies on May 11, students and staff across D.C. Public Schools will be taking a COVID-19 test to return from their extended break.
COVID-19 rapid tests were distributed to students just before Presidents Day weekend with the expectation that parents would upload their student’s test results on the day they take the test — no later than Sunday, Feb. 26.
“To support a safe return from February break, all students and staff will be expected to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test,” the school’s testing notification said.
Anyone who returns to District schools on or after Feb. 27 will need to have proof of a negative test beforehand.
