Rapid (antigen) testing has now been introduced to the Ontario construction industry. Contractors with large sites for more than 100 tradespersons are invited to consider implementing non-symptomatic testing as a screening tool to keep COVID-19 from spreading in their workplaces.
The Ministry of Health is making the tests available at no charge for contractors who commit to providing a medical professional to organize and conduct the tests and report outcomes.
The rapid tests have already proven successful.
Anyone interested should contact David Frame at OGCA.
