Given ongoing community transmission, asymptomatic new hires and current employees are at equally high risk of acquiring infection in the community. A negative test the week before hire doesn’t
mean they’ll be negative the day they start work, or the following week, or a month from now. Instead of testing, we have focused on screening for a history of exposure, any symptoms, and educating new hires about reporting exposures and symptoms.

Good afternoon everyone,
We are currently testing all new hires for COVID-19 and are fortunately experiencing a very low positivity rate.
I am wondering if any of you are also doing pre-placement testing, and have in any way adjusted your testing strategy according to your experience?
Thank you.
Take care,
