HARWICH In an effort to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, Monomoy Regional School District said it has implemented a free COVID-19 pooled testing program for students and staff at its schools.
The district worked with the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to offer the testing.
It is the first district on Cape Cod to launch pooled testing.
Pooled testing involves mixing several individuals’ test samples together into one “pool” and then testing the pooled sample for COVID-19 using PCR tests. This approach increases the number of individuals that can be tested at one time and allows MRSD to regularly and efficiently test the school community for COVID-19, the district said in a statement March 2.
