The difficulty with preventing the spread of COVID among your workforce and to customers / end-users is that it is believed around 50% of carriers do not display symptoms and many people only experience mild symptoms. Testing is the only way to be certain that you are keeping everyone safe.
As a company, you will be facing at least one of these challenges during the COVID-19/coronavirus outbreak:
- Asymptomatic carriers causing a COVID outbreak at work
- COVID-19 testing for fit to fly certificates and test to release for speedy return to work
- Staff who are unwell and at home with no access to reliable testing
- Staff who were unwell and may soon return to work. You will want to ensure they are not carrying an active virus on returning to work
We have spoken to our corporate clients and put together several options for companies.
- Routine on-site testing for COVID
- In-clinic testing for fit to fly certificates and test to release, with fast turnaround
- Home-testing kits dispatched / utilised centrally as and when required
- Home-testing for symptomatic individuals
- Quantitative antibody testing following vaccination to ensure successful immunity response
- GPs available on the phone at short notice

FAQ
COVID-19/coronavirus is transmitted through droplets containing the virus. When an infected person sneezes or coughs, droplets land on surfaces and are also on their body and hands.
When another person touches those surfaces or shakes hands with an infected person, and then touch their face or eat with their hands, they become infected. COVID is highly contagious which is why it has spread at such a high rate.
