Workplace Covid Testing
Do you have 10 or more people working in your organisation?
You can pick up lateral flow tests for them to do at home or in the office.
Lateral flow tests are very quick and you know within 30mins if you are positive for COVID-19. If you do test positive, you would isolate immediately and go & book to have a standard PCR test at a testing centre.
With as many as 1 in 3 people not having any symptoms regular testing is an important element in the fight against the pandemic.
Your organisation will need to register.
For further information please click HERE.
If your organisation has fewer than 10 employees, please use he lateral flow centres in your area.
For more information about these or any other matter re community responses to covid, call us on 023 8090 2400.
