Government of Canada increases access to COVID-19 rapid testing for workers |
The Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Health and the Honourable Mary Ng, Minister of Small Business, Export Promotion and International Trade, are encouraging businesses and organizations to apply for free rapid tests for workplace screening projects. Workplace screening is another layer of protection for workers, the people they serve and their communities from COVID-19. Across the country, these rapid tests have already helped to identify and stop the transmission of over 11,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19. |

Ontario Supports Families, Businesses and Workers during COVID-19 |
Employment in Ontario decreased by 152,700 in April. Driven by new, more contagious variants, the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to create unprecedented challenges for individuals, families and businesses across the province. These job numbers serve as a stark reminder that as we continue to do everything possible to support Ontarians, there is much work ahead of us. |

‘Doses After Dark’ 32-hour vaccination clinic coming to Peel Region |
For greater convenience in booking for our residents (and to have a little fun!), the Region of Peel will be running a “Doses After Dark” 32-hour marathon clinic at the International Centre in Mississauga this weekend. The clinic will run from 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 15 around the clock to 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 16. |
|
Peel launching largest vaccine week to date |
With additional vaccine received, Peel aims to deliver 150,000 needles in arms next week (the week starting May 10). This will be the Region’s biggest one-week total so far. At this pace, projections suggest that our campaign will reach its target of 75% first doses earlier than expected while also accelerating Ontario’s goal of reaching 65% first dose coverage by the end of May. |
