LAUSD Is Handing Out Rapid Tests For Baseline COVID Testing. Here’s Where To Go

Los Angeles Unified School District students can pick up COVID-19 rapid tests at the district's grab-and-go sites starting today (Friday, Jan. 7).
Each student gets two tests and can get them until noon Friday and from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Saturday. Students must present a negative COVID-19 test before they're allowed back on campus for classes on Tuesday, due to a surge in COVID-19 cases.
The district requires all students and staff to have the negative COVID-19 test for a baseline in addition to weekly testing, regardless of vaccination status. Baseline testing needs to be completed by Monday.
