Incidentally, I just this morning read a memo saying this will change soon and be stopped but it’s been going on for months up until now. Just an example of progressive testing to mitigate infection risk to children and faculty, as well as their families. Doesn’t seem “crazy” to me to be extra careful but then again, why not test for influenza and lice too?
