At Home Covid Test Kits
COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Kit is approved by the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG/TGA) for Supply in Australia*
The emergence of infective coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has generated significant global concern, especially with the disease (“COVID-19”) achieving pandemic status. While laboratory testing of nasopharyngeal swabs for active virus load represents the gold standard of infection testing and tracing, implementing on-site rapid testing for COVID-19 allows the potential for businesses to significantly reduce the waiting times associated with COVID-19 testing while also help maintain a COVID-safe workplace. In this light, AusHealth has partnered with Innovation Scientific and is now offering COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test kits for sale to business clients.
Why should we conduct on-site rapid testing?
On-site screening may provide an immediate indication as to the possible infectivity of any individual on a given worksite, which will allow management to take swift and appropriate actions to maintain workplace safety. However, on-site rapid testing is not a substitute for maintaining good practice when it comes to infection control, COVID-safe plans and hygiene procedures should also be implemented.
