The Ontario Government has launched a new rapid testing portal to make it easier for essential businesses to access free rapid testing to help keep employees and their families safe.
Businesses are encouraged to participate in the program by registering at www.ontario.ca/testingonsite .
The new provincial portal provides free rapid antigen screening kits to help screen for asymptomatic cases of COVID-19 that might otherwise be missed. The government recently expanded program eligibility to include any business that can be open and requires staff to work on-site.
A COVID-19 rapid screening test can be performed anywhere (such as onsite at workplaces). It does not require shipping a specimen to a lab for processing and takes about 15 minutes to produce a result.
