Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz has provided advice on community-based testing options for children experiencing COVID-19 symptoms. A document titled "COVID-19 Testing Resources for Students in Erie County" is located at https://5il.co/107lm on the Tonawanda City School District website, www.tonawandacsd.org.
"If your child is experiencing COVID-19 symptoms and you are seeking a negative test result so that they can return to school, you have several community-based testing options," the document says.
Food for thought: the October issue of The Dietitian's Desk newsletter is now on the Tonawanda City School District website at https://5il.co/100gg.
