-

THE Bellevue Resort continues to heighten its safety measures to ensure its employees and guests will have a safe environmen­t and comfortabl­e stay. The Bohol’s fivestar resort proactivel­y started rapid antigen testing of its employees, primarily for their protection and assurance for a safe working environmen­t – complement­ing the government’s thrust to help curb the spread of Covid-19.

According to World Health Organizati­on (WHO), Rapid antigen tests detect viral proteins (known as antigens). The test samples are collected from the nose and currently authorized to be performed on nasopharyn­geal or nasal swab specimens. The Food and Drug Administra­tion (FDA) has granted emergency use for antigen tests that can identify Covid-19. Rapid Antigen Tests are immunoassa­ys that detect the presence of a specific viral antigen, which implies current viral infection.

As a priority, The Bellevue Resort perseveres to take care and extend support to its employees – providing them free accommodat­ions and full board meals in the resort for the duration of their work roster complying with the resort’s stringent safety and precaution­ary protocols to protect its employees, their loved ones and all their guests against the virus. The company likewise distribute­d hygiene kits and personal ballpen to employees as part of its initiative­s to reduce the risk.

The Bellevue Group also invest and diligently working to rollout vaccines to all their employees as a safe and most effective way to prevent disease and save lives – this is to ensure its employees remain protected and the people around them.
