Surveillance Testing for Schools
Onondaga County Health Department is offering on-site weekly surveillance testing for students and staff at school buildings throughout Onondaga County for the 2022-23 school year. 

• • This is simple and painless pooled saliva testing.
  • There are no out-of-pocket expenses.
  • Anyone part of a positive pool will have their sample tested individually (the same specimen will be used; no additional test is needed).

We encourage parents to enroll their children in this important testing program to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our schools and our larger community. Please contact your school district for more information and to sign up!
