LifeWorks Offering On-Site COVID-19 Screening Clinics to Workplaces in the United States
- Unique service helps employers and employees with a healthier, safer return to the workplace
LifeWorks, a world leader in providing in-person and digital solutions that support the total wellbeing of individuals, now offers on-site COVID-19 screening clinics for U.S. workplaces using two options: the CareStart antigen nasal swab test and the Lucira molecular (diagnostic) rapid nasal test.
Regular workplace screenings are the first step in detecting COVID-19, and they can help employers minimize the risk of outbreaks in their workplace. Having convenient and accessible rapid testing reduces barriers employees may face when seeking out COVID-19 testing and can ease the stress and anxious feelings that come with trying to secure tests independently.
