We are not routinely testing employees without symptoms.  We have done surveillance testing in the past with suspected nosocomial infections.

Schools here in the mid-Atlantic are testing twice weekly.  The VA is testing every other week

 

What are your hospitals doing generally?

Has anyone developed testing for  law enforcement?
