AUGUSTA — The Maine Department of Health and Human Services and the Maine Department of Education announced Tuesday new COVID-19 testing options to support schools in Maine, strengthening Maine’s strategy that has effectively limited virus transmission in school settings.
The Departments announced the State has purchased 250,000 BinaxNOW rapid antigen tests and will prioritize these tests for schools, along with health care and long-term care sites, to expand regular testing in schools and support in-person learning.
The tests are expected to arrive over the next three months and come in addition to 25,000 BinaxNOW tests that remain from the State’s initial 2020 Federal distribution, according to a news release.
