Teacher receives COVID test as her holiday gift

While it's not uncommon for employers to give their employees little bonuses and gifts over the holiday season, some might be luckier than others.

"I'm confused. Is this a joke?" she asked as she received the test in a video shared on the social media platform as she unwrapped the present.

"I got my Christmas present from the school. It's literally a COVID rapid test. That's my Christmas bonus."
