New York starts school Covid-19 ‘report card’

NY Governor Cuomo, in a briefing in NYC, announces that as part of the efforts related to school reopenings, NY will now require the publication of a daily “report card” for every school to give parents and teachers “confidence” about where their school stands in terms of potential outbreaks.

The site will be run by the NY Department of Health, absorbing data from a variety of sources, including testing centers and schools so that the information is not reliant on the school districts’ dissemination of data. The site can be found here: https://schoolcovidreportcard.health.ny.gov/

The site is designed to show the positivity rate, number of tests conducted, and whether a student or teacher who tested positive did so in a remote learning capacity, or whether it was in-person.

Stocks involved in Covid-19 testing include Laboratory Corp (NYSE:LH), Abbott Labs (NYSE:ABT), Quest Diagnostics (NYSE:DGX), Co-Diagnostics (NASDAQ:CODX), Fulgent Genetics (NASDAQ:FLGT) and Opko’s BioReference (NASDAQ:OPK), to name a few.
