Another day of COVID testing at a pair of local schools.
Mobile testing clinics have been set up outside the Pines in Chatham and the Blenheim Arena and pool to test students and staff, however as with last week’s mobile clinics, testing is not open to the general public.
There have been two confirmed cases of COVID-19 at Anne Catholic School and one at UCC, in both cases two classes remain quarantined due to close contact.
Officials with the Public Health Unit say the idea is to continue testing suspected close contacts of positive cases within the school community without putting an extra burden on the Health alliance Assessment Centre.
