Oklahoma develops plan to test public school teachers for coronavirus

The Oklahoma State Department of Health and the state Department of Education say a plan has been developed for the state’s public school teachers to be voluntarily tested for the coronavirus.

The departments say in a Friday news release that the plan provides all teachers and school support staff free coronavirus testing in their areas.

Gov. Kevin Stitt in July issued an executive order for the state health and state education departments to develop a plan for teachers to be tested monthly for the virus.
