Carson City School District offers COVID testing to all school employees

CARSON CITY, Nev. (KOLO) - The Carson City School District has arranged for two drive-thru COVID-19 testing sites for school employees.

District employees have been informed of the locations and times. Following the two testing events, any school employee who has COVID symptoms at work can be tested by school nurses.
