The California Department of Public Health Tuesday laid out its plans to distribute tests to districts around the state, saying that the department delivered 3 million tests last week across multiple counties.
"About 1.5 million tests are anticipated to arrive in the state’s warehouse today which will immediately be shipped to counties across the state," the department said in a statement. "These efforts will ensure California schools remain among the safest in the nation."
