Stratford businesses will soon have access to equipment to prevent outbreaks of COVID-19 with the new help of a rapid screening test pilot project.
StaySafe, the COVID-19 screening program first launched last week in Waterloo and Stratford is the first community to sign onto the program to help small and medium sized businesses.
The project greatly helps businesses to detect COVID-19 in staff members who aren’t showing any symptoms. The project will launch next week.
StaySafe is funded by both the federal and provincial government and is completely free for all businesses registered in the Provincial Antigen Screening Program with less than 150 employees who aren’t able to work from home or physically distance while working.
