My fourth grader took his 5th test in a week. Still negative. Sibling is isolating, but now negative, due to a positive test last week, so have been testing regularly.

Us too. The box had all the parts but the solution vial was empty.


There's a separate little.plastic.thing with the solution that you're supposed to put in the vial.


There’s nothing else in the box.I’ve administered about 20 tests thus far. I’ve got this.


I've head there are 2 different brands/types of tests. Some of the vials are prefilled. Others are not.


It’s actually that there are two different types of iHealth tests. Same brand, same packaging but some are prefilled and some are not.

Open the little baggie with the vial in it. It’s definitely in there. I thought the same thing because I was used to the type that were prefilled (same brand).

Look again. The liquid is there to fill it with.

I’m certain that was due to user error. Those tests are reliable.

The issue is it requires parents to, I don’t know, be responsible?? We are literally giving every single student a free test and asking their adult to report. I agree many won’t do it but that isn’t really a failure on mcps’s part. And don’t take that as excusing mcps for its many, many errors in the last week. This just isn’t one of them.

I would prefer if everyone who didn’t report test results not be allowed back in school but that’s not the route they took.

This is true. But there will be some families that take it seriously and if their kid tests positive will keep them home. So there's that.
