Why is Covid-19 antigen testing essential for your workplace continuity?
Having an ongoing testing system in place allows you to reduce the exposure that your staff have to the Covid-19 virus. The antigen test allows for asymptomatic individuals can be quickly identified and so begin their recommended isolation period, keeping the rest of your employees safe. This is important for those people not showing any symptoms as they could be unknowingly spreading the virus not just in the workplace, but also amongst their own friends and family.
A common strategy is to use the antigen test on a regular basis, ideally every two weeks, enabling detection of those who are carrying the virus and test positive to quickly self-isolate and so minimising the spread and impact on business.
Employees can therefore feel more safe and secure with the knowledge that those people who test positive, but are not displaying any symptoms, will be isolating and away from the workplace.
