Did you know that rapid tests are a safe, easy, and fast way to screen for potential COVID-19 cases in the workplace?
Workplace screening, when combined with other public health measures and workplace health and safety controls, like wearing a mask, physical distancing, washing hands, vaccinations, and improved ventilation, is an important measure that will help protect workers from COVID-19.
Rapid tests can be conducted by a health care professional or trained individual, depending on where you’re working. The results are available in 15 to 20 minutes and don’t need to be sent to a lab.
It’s important to remember that even though rapid testing is a good screening tool, even with a negative test result, it’s not a substitute for any existing public health measures and workplace health and safety controls that have been implemented to protect workers from COVID-19.
Rapid tests are most effective at identifying individuals with a high transmission potential, even when they aren’t showing any symptoms. This can help you respond quickly and stop the spread of COVID-19.
