MADISON, Wis. One year ago today, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. Many things have changed and evolved over the past 365 days including our testing capabilities.
According to Public Health Madison Dane County’s COVID Response Specialist Sarah Schwartz, testing is now much more widely available to anyone.
“We didn’t have as many people coming through a year ago because there were criteria to come and get tested,” Schwartz said.
When testing first became available, members of the Wisconsin National Guard were administering the tests to those who were experiencing symptoms or believe they were exposed to someone who tested positive for the virus. As time went on, the Guard members trained Public Health staff, EMTs, etc. and testing is now available to anyone.

MADISON, Wis. As more Madison schools begin reopening for in-person learning, News 3 Now’s Jamie Perez revisited St. Dennis School to see how its school year has gone ever since it reopened in August.
Principal Matt Beisser said the school reopened during a time when there were many unknowns but being overly cautious and having full cooperation from all parents, students, teachers and staff has made the school year mostly successful. Beisser also credits the ongoing success to facilities associate Phil Burr who disinfects the entire school during his shift every day.
“It’s been a real ride but it’s been very worth it,” Burr said.
