The Health Ministry announced the locations where the general population can take a rapid antigen test on Tuesday, 16 March.
Businesses need to ensure that employees get tested on a weekly basis as follows:
- Businesses/services employing up to 3 people: all employees should be tested.
- Businesses/services employing between 4 to 10 people: at least 4 employees should be tested.
- Businesses/services employing more than 11 people: at least 4 people or 20% of employees should be tested, whichever is higher in number.
Additionally, the self-employed and the domestic employees and/or people caring for elders or disabled persons or people providing assistance to individuals who are unable to take care of themselves are obligated to participate in the program.
All teachers and school staff are also required to undergo a weekly check with a rapid antigen test.
Moreover, as of 8 March, students aged 12 and over are required to submit a negative rapid test certificate on a weekly basis. The Ministry noted that there will be mobile testing units in public and private high schools but staff and pupils can take the test at other testing units if they so wish.
Citizens must carry proof of identity (e.g. Identity Card, Driver’s Licence, Passport, etc.), for identification purposes at the testing sites.
