Those seeking testing at DeKalb High School, 501 W. Dresser Road, should enter at the stoplight entrance of Pride Avenue, according to a Wednesday news release from the DCHD. Simple nasal swabs will be used and those tested will be called with the results within seven days. Symptoms are not a requirement for testing.
