Hi there,
I hope you are all surviving these crazy times.
I had a question for anyone who is preforming mandatory Covid swabbing on Staff, especially for those who have dedicated Covid Wards.
What are you doing? and what swabs are you using? Do you perform these before they start their shift? or at the end of the shift?
I know NSW Health said 72hr testing. Are you using rapid testing? or the rapid antigen testing?
Do you have any policy or procedure documents you would be willing to share with us?
thank you in advanced
Kind Regards

Hi Maham,
I’m not sure if you got any response to this question you posted back in
August but I currently have the exact same question.
We’re currently reviewing our procedure for staff testing and I’m
interested in what other states and services have been doing, especially in
Vic and NSW.Thank you!
Warm regards,
