The New York City Department of Education plans to send a COVID test kit home with every K-12 public school student before the midwinter break from February 21st to the 25th.

“Keeping kids in school is best for their health. We keep them safe by making sure that they have test kits that go home with them if necessary,” Hochul said this week. “And I want to announce that as we're approaching the winter break, schools have different times, but between February and March, I want to make sure that we have enough kits to have every child be able to have a test kit sent home with them before the break.

The city DOE said in an email Thursday that they will send a test kit home with all students except for 3K and pre-K kids, the week of February 14th. An inquiry about the number of tests in each kit was not immediately answered, though the DOE has been distributing boxes that contain two tests.
