\n The head of the city\u2019s teachers\u2019 union said Thursday that if the Department of Education doesn\u2019t improve it\u2019s COVID-19 testing they are going to prevent schools from opening Sept. 21.<\/p>\n

The threat came after United Federation of Teachers Michael Mulgrew revealed that\u00a0 16 city teachers have tested positive for COVID-19 out of 15,000 recently checked for the virus.<\/p>\n

While that amounts to a minimal infection rate of roughly 0.1 percent,\u00a0 Mulgrew told NBC Thursday that that the city\u2019s testing turnaround times were worrisome.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf these people were tested starting September why are we just getting the results now?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

Both City Hall and the UFT have said that they expect sporadic coronavirus cases among school staffers but insist that they have app<\/a>ropriate response protocols in place.<\/p>\n

Mulgrew warned that shoddy testing procedures could threaten Mayor Bill de Blasio\u2019s targeted school reopening date of September 21.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the city can\u2019t live up to its side of this agreement then we\u2019re going to say you can\u2019t open,\u201d Mulgrew told NBC.<\/p>\n

A City Hall spokesperson defended the testing regime.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve worked to make testing as fast and convenient for school-based staff across the city and the results have paid off, with over 95% of tests coming back within 48 hours,\u201d said Avery Cohen. \u201cWe\u2019re committed to testing every last case of the virus, and will continue to work in lockstep with UFT to ensure we are doing everything in our power to make schools safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roughly 61 percent of city kids are slated to begin a blended learning format where they will alternate between home and campus learning.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
