Free Rapid Tests Available for Small-and Medium-Sized Businesses under 150 employees!
The Ontario Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, Ontario and Canadian governments, has launched the COVID-19 Rapid Screening Initiative. Through this initiative, participating chambers of commerce and boards of trade are rolling out free rapid tests for small- and medium-sized businesses in communities across the province.
Businesses (including non-chamber members) with 150 employees or less are welcome to participate in this program. 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.
If you are a small and medium-sized business (SME) with under 150 employees, see the list below of chambers of commerce and boards of trade currently participating in the program.
NOTE: Some locations may be out of supplies from time to time due to high demand. Please click on the link below for the chamber or board of trade in your region to check on supply and order your test kits.
Some locations may require you to book an appointment to ensure supplies are available and space out pick-up times. If you need to cancel an appointment, please let the chamber or board of trade know so that they can make the time available to another business.
