Rapid testing
MPP Dave Smith, the Greater Peterborough Chamber of Commerce and the Kawartha Chamber of Commerce and Tourism have launched a program to provide rapid testing kits for the Peterborough city and county businesses community.
The rapid antigen test kits are free and are designed to catch COVID-19, prevent outbreaks and keep our local businesses, service-providers open, and their employees and customers safe.
The test kits screen for asymptomatic cases of COVID-19 in the workplace that might otherwise be missed. Businesses must register and order the kits through the online portal, and once your kits are ordered they can be picked up at Smith’s office at 1123 Water St. N.
A link to the portal can be found at peterboroughchamber.ca.
For details, call 705-742-3777. Stuart Harrison is general manager of the Peterborough Chamber of Commerce. To submit your business news, send an email to stoosnews@nexicom.net or call 705-7489771 ext. 202.
