COVID percent positive as return to learn benchmark
Hello! Is the 5% percent positive indicator for minimal community spread (green zone for schools using the benchmarks to return to in-person learning) still valid if the demand for tests is low? Was ADHS expecting more people to be using our supply of tests? I think we had capacity for 60,000 per day; if only a fraction are being used (6,000 yesterday) and by mostly symptomatic people, wouldn’t that make the percent positive higher than if all were being used?) These benchmarks have significant implications for our students - if an unexpected lack of demand for testing changes their validity, please revise.
