By car, truck or ferry: school rapid tests in parent’s hands by any means | natassiazc

As the Cronulla ferry chugged its way across the sparkling waters of Port Hacking early Friday morning, school principal Tony Ibrahim was on board admiring the blue seas and skies, accompanied by a coveted supply of rapid antigen tests.

Ms Clarke brought a trestle table from home and camped outside the wharf for two hours on Friday morning, handing out tests to parents and children. Then she drove both the table and tests 10 minutes to Maianbar and set up her makeshift stand again, waiting outside the local cafe until 2pm.from her supply stand at midday. She’ll repeat the service again on Monday, until all 460 tests are collected by families ready to start the school year on Tuesday.

“We’re asking parents to use these tests twice a week ... This is about having flexible, a common-sense approach. If you can test your kids before day one, do that, if you can’t, that’s okay.”Dylan Coker Public transport will continue to have green physical distancing dots and face masks are required for anyone aged over 12. But no school student will be turned away from services, even if that means physical distancing will not be possible.

natassiazc What's the point of it? To begin with, it's not compulsory for students, and secondly, you're not preventing Covid, you're just detecting it once kids are already infectious and have passed it on to others. 'Air purifiers' another massive waste of money.
