With funding provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) will be supporting screening testing for COVID-19 in kindergarten through grade 12 (K-12) school settings. The purpose is to provide an additional layer of prevention to protect teachers, employees, and students and to slow the spread of COVID-19 in these settings and keep schools open to in-person school and activities through frequent serial testing.
