<\/a><\/p>\nAnyone who is partially vaccinated (has a first dose and awaiting their second dose by Sept. 28) will be subject to rapid antigen screening until 14 days after the second dose.<\/p>\n
Brock University\u00a0is a member of the\u00a0Creative Destruction Lab (CDL) Rapid Screening Consortium<\/a>, which is a private sector-led, not-for-profit initiative formed in August 2020.<\/p>\n Before coming to campus, anyone taking part in the program will undergo twice-weekly, at-home COVID-19 rapid antigen screening and results will be provided within 15 minutes of sample collection. Results will be de-identified and uploaded to Health Canada through a dedicated computer or mobile application.<\/p>\n The program uses the Abbott Panbio COVID-19 Rapid\u00a0Antigen\u00a0Nasal Test devices<\/a>, which are available in boxes of 25 units at no charge to students, faculty and staff who qualify for the program.<\/p>\n Instructions on how to arrange for pickup on campus will be sent to those whose exemption or partial vaccine documentation has been uploaded through the\u00a0Vaccination Declaration Form<\/a> and verified. Alternative arrangements for pickup can made using the Brock University Rapid Antigen Screening app, which\u00a0is now available through Microsoft Power Apps.<\/p>\n For more information about the rapid antigen program including frequently asked questions and detailed instructions on how to use the screening kits and the accompanying smart phone app to upload results, visit brocku.ca\/coronavirus\/rapid-antigen-screening<\/a><\/p>\n
