Understanding the evolving COVID-19 symptoms and embedding screening measures unique to your workplace can be challenging. We’ve created screening programs for numerous industries and can walk you through the best approaches to use. For industries that require employees to be tested for COVID-19, we offer onsite asymptomatic testing that we can perform on your behalf. We can also provide you with support as you look to have employees return to work following illness.
