Congressman Jake Auchincloss (D-4th District) and Ginkgo Bioworks staff recently toured the Medfield High School COVID-19 testing operation. Auchincloss visited the school as part of his American Rescue Plan tour, highlighting the success of the American Rescue Plan and the economic recovery taking place. Each stop in the district has focused on at least one of the three main goals of the ARP: shots in arms, kids back to school, and Americans back to work.
“Medfield is a model for Massachusetts and for the nation,” said Auchincloss. “By following the best and latest public health guidance, by leveraging the best in science - in partnership with companies like Ginko Bioworks, - and by building close-knit collaboration built on confidence and transparency between students, parents, nurses, faculty and administrators, they have been able to achieve testing rates that have allowed them to get back to full time in-person learn
