Plot Thickens... LFT tests here for few years1 Jul 2021 14:02
PARENTS and carers of children are being urged to continue taking regular rapid Covid-19 tests amid rising cases at nurseries and primary schools in Darlington.
Children and staff at schools, nurseries and colleges have been encouraged to take rapid (lateral flow) tests twice weekly since the spring.
But there are concerns that young people and their families will abandon regular testing when the school term ends this month.
Parents and carers of younger children and toddlers are told to be especially careful, as reports of cases amongst primary schools, nurseries and play groups rise across the town.
