In this interview, Rolf Kaiser, Professor of Virology at the University of Cologne, shares the success of the “Lolli-Method”, a groundbreaking approach to COVID-19 testing in schools and daycare facilities.
💡 What is the Lolli-Methode?
- A simple, child-friendly testing method where children chew on a swab, making the process efficient and non-invasive.
- Groups of swabs were tested together, reducing disruption and easing the process for educators and children alike.
🧪 Impact:
- The testing, conducted twice a week, was effective reducing clusters in particular for teachers and in high school.
- Almost 7 million children and students were tested using this method between 2020 and 2021, helping to keep schools and daycare facilities open during the pandemic.
