Study Description: This project explored the feasibility of strategic COVID-19 testing protocols in at-risk urban school settings with the goal of increasing a sense of safety for parents and staff, and elucidating information that could assist the district in adopting a testing protocol which would increase time students and staff spend in school physically versus quarantined or in virtual learning environments. This study hypothesized that the data collected via this study would support a testing protocol for students to return to school sooner than the current 10-day quarantine period required by the Miami-Dade school district. Using the information gathered from Study 1, two types of protocols were expected: 1) For students showing symptoms (isolation room protocol-see sample below); 2) For students exposed (either in the classroom or outside of school).
