Providing test kits for businesses is part of Canada’s rapid antigen test initiative to give companies with employees who work on-site frequent rapid tests.

The Government of Canada is giving the test kits to participating pharmacies, but pharmacies can charge up to $14 for training and handling.

There are 25 tests in each kit, and the government suggests companies to test each employee twice a week.
