Wise: Would be wise to test all who are taking the trip, including your child. If anyone tests positive, contact both the college and your GP for advice.

COVID 19: COVID 19 policies vary by state. State & local health departments/ providers make actual testing decisions. Some states require a dr.'s referral & some don't. What state is your child's school. Look up their policies and the school's policy. Can call PCM or use “Talk – To- Doctor” on HealthTap if one believes they should be tested.
