Free COVID-19 Tests For Plymouth Students And Staff

Students and staff in the district will be offered free COVID-19 testing in the hopes of stopping the spread during school break.

PLYMOUTH, MA – Students and staff in the district will be offered free COVID-19 testing through Thursday. Supt. Christopher Campbell expresses that the testing is not required but is all voluntary.

It will help check for positives during the school’s week vacation. This all started due to the spike in diagnoses during the Christmas holidays, by taking this approach the goal is to reduce the spread.

The kits are available for pickup today, Wednesday, Feb. 17, at Plymouth North High School; and on Thursday, Feb. 18, at Plymouth Community Intermediate School from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. Once the test is completed you should drop it off at one of the 12 FED-EX drop boxes in Plymouth or in the area.
