Shrewsbury Public Schools: Issue Identified With Veritas Nasal Swab QR Scanning, And Workaround

Press release from the Shrewsbury Public Schools:

January 5, 2022

The information below was sent to all Shrewsbury Public Schools parents and staff from Assistant Finance and Operations Manager Ms. April Yu on January 5, 2022.  

Please feel free to email covidtesting@shrewsbury.k12.ma.us if you have any questions or concerns.

Hello,

The lab is working on producing and distributing new tubes with enhanced QR codes. For any QR code that does not scan directly to our website as usual, please do not search google for "covid.vg/Y123456". Instead please navigate to https://www.covid.vg where you will be prompted to enter your barcode during the normal registration process.

Please pass this information along to staff and parents who are registering kits at home so they can successfully complete the registration process. 

We apologize for the additional step and will send an update when this issue has been resolved.

Thank you, 

CIC Health
