OHSU K-12 Weekly COVID Testing Program

Test Kits

  • OHSU tests for COVID-19 by using a sample of your child’s spit (saliva).
  • Test kits include, a spit sample tube with cap, funnel, alcohol wipe, absorbent pad, and a bio-hazard bag.

Labels

  • VERY IMPORTANT: You will be provided a sheet of labels with your child’s contact information.
  • Each week you will need to apply one custom label to the spit sample and one to the bio-hazard bag. Please keep these labels in a safe place for future use.

Test Kit Distribution Weekly on Wednesdays at Pick-Up

  • Test kits will be distributed weekly on Wednesdays at pick-up, beginning February 16th. Children in aftercare will receive their test kit in a brown bag.
