The Ottawa Board of Trade and the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the Ontario and Canadian governments, have launched the COVID-19 Rapid Screening Initiative.
Through this initiative, we will be distributing free rapid tests for
small and medium sized businesses across Ottawa!
Rapid test screening can provide an additional layer of protection for workplaces in addition to symptom screening, physical distancing, PPE (masking, eye protection) and hand hygiene.
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. And help businesses re-open and stay open.
The Ottawa Board of Trade has been working diligently on a made in Ottawa plan
along with Invest Ottawa and other key stakeholders. We anticipate being ready to deploy
by the last week of May. Details will be available to businesses in the week before the the launch.
Meanwhile, stay informed or let us know you wish to be contacted when the bookings open.
