Some Utah schools requested thousands of rapid tests for their students and staff, others were uninterested

The Utah state health department gave schools the opportunity to request Abbott BinaxNOW tests in boxes of 40 for use in surveillance, preemptive testing. A total of 95 schools and districts took this opportunity in fall 2021, but only 20 requested 1,000 tests or more.
