Local medical professionals support COVID-19 pooled testing
We are a multidisciplinary group of local physicians, scientists, nurses and pediatric specialists who have come together to help support the community.
We are pleased that the state is offering public schools a program to support six weeks of pooled surveillance testing for COVID-19 and that Winchester Public Schools is planning to participate, starting with Winchester High School. We’d like to applaud the School Committee and the Board of Health for supporting this. The Select Board has committed to help fund this effort during the initial six weeks and potentially beyond, and we are grateful that they recognize the public health importance of testing.
