The ACT government has not yet decided whether the distribution of rapid antigen tests to school students and staff will continue beyond week four as teachers raise concerns about mounting workloads.
Schools have received their week three and four supplies of two tests per staff member and student but a government spokeswoman said a decision on the future of the COVID-19 surveillance program would be made next week.
Australian Education Union ACT branch secretary Patrick Judge said there had been a lot of challenges around the distribution of the rapid tests, which requires school staff to spend hours repacking kits to give to students.
