RAPID ANTIGEN TESTING FOR COVID-19

Further to our update last week, we are progressing with setting up Rapid Antigen Screening for COVID-19 at our pilot locations across Ontario. A plan to roll out a similar screening program in Saskatchewan is also in the works and will be shared in the coming weeks. Thank you to all of you for being part of this pilot. Stay tuned for further details!

Additionally, a Rapid Antigen Screening Training course is now available in the LMS. Employees working in the pilot locations in Ontario can now enroll themselves from the catalog and complete the course at any time. More information to follow via email later today.

For ease of reference, the links to the Instructions and FAQs shared last week can be found below. We have made some minor language consistency updates to the documents.
