Why Testing is Important
Healthy Students – Safe, Open Schools
New evidence from Mathematica and Rand Corporation supported by the Rockefeller Foundation, finds that regular Covid-19 testing in primary and secondary education is critical to getting students back to in-person learning. The reports found that weekly testing of all students, teachers, and staff can reduce in-school infections by an estimated 50 percent and would give teachers the peace of mind to return to the classroom.
- Keep kids in school and COVID out
- Protect teachers and staff
- Develop statistical evidence for decision-making
- No cost to schools. COVID testing is one hundred percent free through federally allocated funding
Students Testing is Quick and Painless
Each week professional health care providers will come to your schools and test students and staff. They will use an anterior nares nasal swab test that is quick and accurate. This is NOT the test that tickles the brain, instead we just swab shallow in the nostril.
Here is a video of a recent testing event!
