UFT calls for more testing of adults in NYC schools

 New York City Teachers' Union is now calling for more testing of adults in school buildings.

The UFT says testing is important to keep cases down in schools, especially now with the threat of the omicron variant.

The Department of Education says they have the country's largest schools surveillance testing program for students and provide courtesy testing for all staff.

School officials say so far this year, they have only had to close three schools due to COVID-19.
