Welcome

Free Rapid Screening Tests Kits Available for Small- and Medium-Sized Businesses under 150 employees! 
The goal of the program is to identify asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic cases of COVID-19 in the workplace that might otherwise be missed, helping to curb the spread in the workplace, at home and around the community. 

Please read and follow EACH step below to be eligible to receive Free Rapid Screening Test Kits.

Step 1: Training Video

• Each company is to assign a Screening Supervisor Designate, who will be the contact person. This is the person that must complete the training and pick up the kits. We will not be able to provide kits to anybody who has not completed this training. The designate only needs to complete the training once, it is not required to be repeated to place subsequent orders.
• The training includes a 12-minute video; please allow yourself sufficient time to watch the full video when you click through. 
• Registration for the Training are required for participation in this program before picking up your first order.  Your partner agreement is included in the training module. Please click here to Register for the Training & Agreement

Step 2: Ordering Your Kits

• Kits need to be ordered prior to pick up by emailing: tirwin@collingwoodchamber.com
• Please email 1) Business Name, 2) Your Screening Supervisor Designate Name, 3) How many staff do you have - so we know how many boxes to give you, 4) Email address, 5) Phone number
• We will email you back with confirmation of your order and set up a date and time for pick up.  Pick-ups will be scheduled for Mondays & Thursday from 9am to 4 pm

Step 3: Day you Pick up your Screening Kits 

• The day you are scheduled to pick up your Screening Kits you must Complete and PASS a COVID-19 assessment before picking up kits from the premises (no more than 12 hours in advance). If you forget to do this in advance, you will see a QR Code displayed at the entrance of the Chamber's office.  Please click here to self screen before you head to our office to pick up your order.
• Masks and physical distancing are mandatory during pick up.

Step 4: Test your Staff 

• Test your staff twice a week following the procedure outlined in the training video.
• Please note that these tests are only for asymptomatic participants. Anybody showing symptoms, or who does not pass your regular daily screening assessment, should follow your regular protocols.

Step 5: Reporting your Results

• Your Screening Supervisor Designate will be responsible for reporting all results before noon EVERY FRIDAY.  All business must agree to immediately report the results as soon as employees have been tested. 
• You will not be asked for your employee names when you submit your results, and we will not be submitting your company name within our reporting structure either. Reporting is a government requirement for participation in the program; the Collingwood Chamber is collecting the data purely to pass through for the program, we will not be using it for any other activities or initiatives.
• You will email your swab results to: tirwin@collingwoodchamber.com

Step 6: Order your next batch of kits

• Repeat steps 2 through 5 for as long as you are participating in the Rapid Screening Initiative.
