Key Takeaways:
- The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) reopened with a critical requirement for rapid, high-volume COVID-19 testing.
- SummerBio was selected by LAUSD to provide low-cost, rapid turnaround PCR tests, utilizing a Pilatus PC-12 aircraft to transport 25,000 samples daily from the Los Angeles area to its diagnostic lab in Northern California.
- This aviation-supported system ensures a door-to-door process of less than two hours, with over 95% of test results reported by 5:00 a.m. the next morning, allowing families to make timely decisions about school attendance.
