We are a small facility. We ask that employees keep at least two test kits at home to use to rule out COVID. We also have a standing order for EH to test employees for Influenza to help rule that out. We use these tools as a piece of the puzzle, knowing
that many people with symptoms of COVID won't test positive until 3 or 4 days into their illness.
