APPLETON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Appleton students are back in the classroom, and there could be more tests in their future. To help keep students safe, the district is now offering coronavirus testing in the schools for students showing symptoms.
The Appleton Area School District is now offering rapid antigen testing for symptomatic elementary school students.
Jill Rohan, a registered nurse with AASD, tells FOX 11….
“We use six feet social distancing. We use the masks. We’re doing the extra cleaning. This is just another extra level of mitigation to keep our kids safe.”
The test being used is the BinaxNOW antigen test, which a CDC study found is 64% accurate for catching symptomatic cases and 35% accurate for asymptomatic cases.
