How can I use the tests?
“Over the Counter (OTC)/At-Home tests” can be used at home by individuals or parents/guardians. If they are used outside the home, they must still be completed by individuals or parents/guardians. This can be observed by LEA or camp staff. However, if they are performed by LEA or camp staff, they are subject to federal laboratory regulations (“CLIA”) and require special training. If you plan to use OTC tests in this type of scenario, your organization needs to apply for use for CDPH’s School CLIA waiver if your organization serves K-12 students.
