New York City schools have seen low Covid-19 numbers since roughly one million students returned to class last month. Experts, however, say the city may not be testing enough students to keep infection numbers low. nyti.ms/3vqYThh
The average weekly positive rate among New York City students is 0.25% — well under the city-wide rate of 2.43%. Here’s how positivity rates by district compare between students and staff. nyti.ms/3vqYThh
Low rates are seen as a success, but there is room for improvement. Experts believe the city should test more students to detect outbreaks before they start. On average, the city tests 302 out of every 10,000 students each week. nyti.ms/3vqYThh 
New York City's goal is to randomly test 10% of unvaccinated children in its schools each week. City officials are hoping that cases will decline further in schools over the next few weeks.
