No differences were found based on grade level, close contact with the index patient, having a family member ever receive a positive SARS-CoV-2 test result, cumulative school incidence, number of recent school cases, number of days from exposure to first contact or to testing, ZIP code\u2013level deprivation score, or ZIP code\u2013level mask compliance. The authors hypothesize that the sociodemographic differences in testing may reflect differences in access to testing outside of the school setting or differing levels of concern about COVID-19 between these groups.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lewis et al.
