WINONA, Minn. (KWNO)-Winona Area Public Schools will offer students free take-home COVID-19 test kits on Tuesday.
The tests are available to students at the middle and high schools and the Winona Area Learning Center. The kits are offered as WAPS saw six new positive cases and reported 71 new quarantines from May 13-19.
“Testing remains a valuable tool in slowing the spread of COVID-19 in our schools and community,” WAPS COVID-19 Coordinator Jackie Henderson said. “There has been an increase in the number of positive COVID-19 cases in Winona, especially among school-age children. We hope that all middle and high school students take advantage of this testing program so we can finish the school year healthy and safe — and in the classroom.”
The kits are available at the nurse’s offices and are required to be returned and completed by the next day.
