Because schools are experiencing significant new demand for tests as COVID-19 cases continue to climb, the state is temporarily adjusting its allocation strategy to ensure schools receive an adequate supply. As a result, the state is pausing shipments to other community partners, including libraries and local health departments, until inventory and the supply chain have stabilized. At-home antigen test kits are available while supplies last for the campus community. This supplemental testing is optional and designed to help keep you and those around you as safe and healthy as possible.
For the point-of-care tests, health centers should report tests conducted in the past two weeks.

The Ohio Department of Health compiles a directory of testing and community health centers that provide COVID-19 tests.
