Concerns have been raised by NSW parents over plans by the state to require regular Rapid Antigen Tests to be taken by students as part of the state’s back to school plan.
Reports indicate that the government may require students to return two tests a week in order to remain in school, despite the worries of parents over the possible expense of undertaking multiple R.A.T’s a week.
NSW premier Dominic Perrottet has made clear that closing schools remain the last resort, as the state’s chief health officer yesterday urged parents to get booster shots as students are set to become likely vectors of the virus.
