What You Need to Know Before You Apply:

Rapid antigen testing is an additional screening method that can help stop the spread of COVID-19 in workplaces and other high-risk settings. Organizations can choose to have employees test on-site or have them self-swab at home before coming into the workplace. Rapid antigen tests produce results in about 15 minutes and don’t require shipping to a lab. Rapid antigen testing must be performed at least one time per week, and up to 2-3 times per week.

Rapid antigen tests provided through the Provincial Antigen Screening Program are available for use with employees and other identified groups (for example, patients, essential caregivers, post-secondary students), but are not to be used to screen customers/patrons or the general public.

We are currently sold out of rapid antigen test kits. To be added to the waitlist of businesses that will be notified once test are back in stock, click here
