COVID-19 Testing Information
Effective Monday, April 5, Community Labs will suspend Alamo Colleges District COVID-19 screening sites for staff, faculty, and students at all five colleges and DSO due to a loss of state funding for school testing.
The community screening site located at the Alamo Colleges District Support Office will remain the only site in operation across the district.
At this time, employees who are scheduled to work regularly on-site are not expected to get screened for COVID-19 on a weekly basis.
