For Small and Medium Sized Businesses under 150 Employees
The Southern Georgian Bay Chamber of Commerce is helping small and medium-sized businesses directly access screening kits and implement rapid screening programs for their employees. Screening people in the workplace with rapid antigen testing will help identify individuals with COVID-19 to help protect others from exposure and provide much needed data about viral prevalence within job sites and communities across Canada.
The goal of this program is to identify individuals who are asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic to prevent them from spreading the COVID-19 virus in the workplace, at home, and in the community.
The Southern Georgian Bay of Commerce located at 208 King Street, Midland will act as a distribution center for Rapid Antigen Screening kits to be used for self-screening in the workplace under the guidance of proper Health and Safety Guidelines provided.
Abbott Panbio Antigen kits will be packaged onsite for pickup by SME’s who have ordered up to a two-week supply, based on the twice-weekly screening of their employees.
The Rapid Antigen Screening Program aims to help small and medium sized businesses with under 150 employees to reopen safely.
