Pool Testing
I am happy to report the district has been accepted to the DESE Pool Testing protocol and matched with CIC Health in Cambridge. We are working with them to prepare all of our documents for families and will have more information available to you soon. The pool testing protocol will allow all those who volunteer for the program to be tested as part of a pool on a weekly basis. The protocol also includes procedures if a pool of tests comes back with a positive result. We are excited to be able to add this seventh safety protocol to our health and safety protocols within our schools.
Community COVID-19 Dashboard
The Bedford Board of Health Bedford COVID-19 Dashboard contains data related to case counts, active/recovered cases, case demographics, and school case data. The majority of the data on the Dashboard will be updated Monday through Friday, with some data tables and charts updated on a weekly basis. We invite you to view the new dashboard here: www.bedfordma.gov/covid-stats
