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.

Chris Hamblett
Chris Hamblett of Boothbay, along with Naomi Reichsmann, were named North Yarmouth Academy’s Fall Athletes of the Year. Hamblett, a senior cross-country standout and the team’s most valuable player, also won the award in 2019. Reischsmann was an outstanding soccer player for the Panthers.
As a freshman, Hamblett finished 21st at the Class C state meet. He had his best finish as a sophomore at the state meet, finishing ninth. Last season he finished 16th.
Due to a rise in COVID-19 cases and the requirement that runners wear masks, there were no state meets. During the regular season meets, he finished in the top five and place eighth in the Western Maine Conference state qualifier.
