Inside the Massive COVID-19 SHIELD Testing Operation
Clip: 2/24/2022 | 4m 39sVideo has Closed Captions
An exclusive look inside the massive Illinois COVID-19 SHIELD testing operation.
What began less than two years ago as a way to test students at the University of Illinois quickly turned into a major statewide operation that is now testing at more than 1,700 schools. The unique saliva test invented by Shield Illinois has been employed as a way to prevent COVID outbreaks — and at some of those schools, the results have been nothing short of extraordinary.
