The testing of students will be conducted in a room designated by the school and it will take less than a minute. The testing is painless and safe, by taking a swab from the throat and nasal cavity, according to the Ministry of Health.
The purpose of the screening is to detect early and possibly find asymptomatic carriers of the covid-19 virus among students. The relevant data will provide a complete picture of the transmission of the virus in schools, in the interest of children.
The Ministry of Health appeals for unreserved support from parents in giving the necessary consent. The screening will ensure safe teaching and protection of children's health.
