Rapid testing for business
One in three people who have COVID-19 show no symptoms – they are asymptomatic and this is what Rapid Testing is designed for.
Rapid testing complements the testing for people with COVID symptoms and aims to identify people with COVID that we don’t know about.
We are therefore encouraging people who need to leave home for work to book a rapid test regularly.
How can your business help?
Support us in finding positive cases so that the chains of transmission can be broken and we can continue to work towards returning to normal life as soon and as safely as possible.
