Morrison Center It s so incredibly comforting for the staff at the school, Jill Webber, a nurse at the William H. Rowe School in Yarmouth told NEWSCENTER Maine.
Rowe and other nurses across the Yarmouth School Dept. have already tested students and staff showing symptoms of the virus over the last couple of weeks.
Compared to the traditional PCR test that often takes days to get results back, the Abbott kit uses a swab, card, and reagent to produce results in minutes. We have a kid come down that has symptoms that are consistent with COVID to be able to quickly do a test and know if that kid s positive or not, Webber said.
