Covid Rapid Screening Program

 Keep your employees and our community safe with FREE Covid-19 Rapid Antigen Self Screening kits!

  • FREE for all businesses in Dufferin County with less than 150 employees!

  • Pick up kits (by appointment only) at the DBOT office

  • Employees test themselves twice per week

  • Get results in 15 minutes

Why do this?

WDG Public Health is strongly recommending local employers institute a workplace vaccination policy to protect their employees and the public from Covid-19.  Visit their website for more information on creating your policy – https://wdgpublichealth.ca/your-health/covid-19-information-workplaces-and-living-spaces/workplaces-and-businesses

A Covid-19 rapid screening test can be performed anywhere (i.e. at your workplace or home!) and does not require shipping a specimen to a lab for processing.  It takes approximately 15 minutes to see the results.  Frequent testing increases the chances of early identification of cases.

How does the Program work?

  • Small businesses select a representative from their company to be the “Screening Supervisor” responsible for the program
  • They sign up for this free program at www.dufferinbot.ca/rapidtest, complete the Program Agreement form, and book a short appointment to come to the DBOT office to pick up a two week supply of kits
  • Employees administer the test themselves, either at home or at the workplace, using a gentle nasal swab.
  • Test results are ready in 15 minutes
  • Anyone who tests positive is directed to self-isolate
  • Employees are generally tested twice per week
  • Reorder your kits on our website as needed
