Coronavirus schools UK: Up to 250,000 pupils could be wrongly ordered to self-isolate amid covid

Up to 250,000 school pupils could be wrongly ordered to self-isolate

Up to 250,000 school pupils could be wrongly ordered to self-isolate Josh White Education Reporter For The Daily Mail © Provided by Daily Mail MailOnline logo A quarter of a million pupils could be wrongly told to self-isolate after receiving ‘false positive’ Covid test results, a teaching union claimed yesterday. But the Government insisted its school testing regime was 99.9 per cent reliable, giving only a ‘minimal chance’ of an incorrect reading. Lateral flow tests are being used three times on every secondary school pupil in the first two weeks of term. They will then test themselves twice a week at home. With 3.4million secondary schoolchildren nationwide, it could mean more than 6,000 false positives a week, even if the test is 99.9 per cent reliable.
