The federal government will distribute free COVID-19 tests to schools across the U.S., according to an announcement posted on the U.S. Department of Education website this Wednesday.
The federal agency also sent letters to local education agencies, urging school districts to order the tests for use by students, parents, faculty and school communities, the announcement stated. Melissa Rudy is health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital.
