We are not testing new hires for Covid.  We treat them just as we do all employees, asking them to monitor for symptoms and wear a mask at work.

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,
