Delaware to hold pop-up COVID-19 testing locations at schools

WILMINGTON, Del. – On Friday, Governor John Carney announced pop-up school testing locations as many schools prepare to return to school for in-person learning.

These testing locations will use saliva-based oral swabs. Results are generally available 48 to 72 hours after Curative receives the test. We’re told that while many of the locations are aimed at students and school communities, members of the public can also register for a test at the school locations.

“Our goal is to get more Delaware children into school for in-person learning – especially our youngest learners and disadvantaged children who need in-person instruction the most,” said Governor Carney. “These pop-up testing locations will help us safely bring back students and educators into the classroom. Delawareans can help students and educators return safely by staying vigilant. Wear a mask. Wash your hands. Keep your distance from those outside your household. Get tested, even if you don’t have symptoms.”
