UPDATE -- Aegis Sciences Corporation announces participation in National Testing Action Plan for K-12 Schools to Safely Reopen April 07, 2021 16:13 ET | Source: Aegis Sciences Corporation Aegis Sciences Corporation NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Rockefeller Foundation announced an initiative on March 26, to provide guidance on testing for K-12 public schools to enable safe in-person learning. T he K-12 National Testing Action Program: Connecting Schools with the Nation’s Leading Testing Companies to Safely Reopen (NTAP) connects schools with laboratories and testing partners, including Aegis Sciences Corporation. Routine testing of students, teachers and staff empowers school administrators with the knowledge they need to safely operate in-person learning. A successful testing program works to quickly identify positive cases to keep school infection rates low. Laboratory partners must return results to schools and test takers within 24 hours. With its large scale national testing capabilities and newly launched pooled testing program which supports more frequent, easy to administer testing at a lower cost while not materially sacrificing accuracy, Aegis is well placed to support this important new initiative.
