Employers and service providers can apply to receive free rapid test kits for use in their organization’s COVID-19 screening program.
Rapid testing screening programs can identify pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic cases – people who don’t know they’re infected with COVID-19 – so they can be isolated early to stop the spread. People with symptoms or known exposure must use the online assessment tool to get tested through Alberta Health Services.
Rapid test kits were successfully piloted in long-term care, outbreaks, hospitals, homeless shelters and industry.
