In an effort to mitigate COVID-19 in our schools and community, Atlanta Public Schools (APS) has adopted a Comprehensive COVID-19 Testing Strategy in collaboration with public health officials, community partners, universities, and healthcare organizations.

This strategy works with our school-based APS Care Centers and community resources to provide testing for the following groups:

• Students, teachers, and staff with symptoms identified through the health screening protocols
• Students, teachers, and staff who have had contact with someone with COVID-19 in the school or workplace
• All students, faculty, and staff with possible exposure in the context of outbreak settings
• PLUS surveillance testing for individuals who are asymptomatic. Learn more about surveillance testing HERE.
