NCT ID NCT04875520

Summary

This study aimed to find the most effective COVID-19 testing approach to help schools reopen safely. Researchers compared two strategies across 16 middle and high schools: testing only people with symptoms versus weekly testing for everyone plus symptom testing. The goal was to see which method better prevented COVID-19 outbreaks in school settings and was more acceptable to students, staff, and families.
