Starting Covid-19 Weekly Testing At School

Posted on by MICHELLE N

Monday 9/27/2021, starting today students going to Santa Ana district schools will have to take Covid-19 test at school weekly; they asked us, the parents, to sign the consent form last week.  William is not an exception.

We got a text from school this morning about the test; and just now I got another text from school giving instruction how to check the test result.  Nowadays all communication from school are mostly text messages which I find it very convenient.

Yesterday I primed William about the Covid-19 test, that this will be an Oran Swab test, not the Nasal Swab test like we did at Walgreens for our Hawaii trip.  He seemed to be ok with it.

Second Covid-19 Test

State of Hawaii demands that everyone is traveling to Hawaii that did not get the Covid-19 vaccine will need to take a Covid-19 test within 72 hours of the departure time; and they only allow travelers to enter the state with negative  test result.

Thus we made a 2nd Covid-19 test for William on Monday 8/9/2021 at 9:45 AM (our flight was 8/12 at 8:30 AM so we could take any appointment on 8/9 after 8:30 AM to meet the 72 hours requirement).  Out of 12 family members were going to Hawaii, only William and Victoria are under 12 years old and don’t have the Covid-19 vaccine yet.  So today I drove both of them to Walgreens for the test.

I reminded William the procedure again, he was not scared at all.

This time the result came back quickly, the next day.  I guess because it was not weekend.

It was negative for both kids.   I was so relieved because I was afraid that the result would not come before the departure date: we have to log in to the Hawaii state website to upload the report before departure.
