NYSDOH Return to School Testing Regulations Revised

Please be advised that effective immediately, according to the updated NYS Department of Health regulations, a negative PCR test OR a negative rapid antigen test result is acceptable for individuals experiencing new or worsening COVID-19 symptoms to return to school. This is an update from the previous regulations, which only allowed for a negative PCR test to return to school because of the high level of community transmission of COVID-19 in Suffolk County.
