Observed Test for Workplace

FAQs

Where do I go to book the testing service or session?

Select which online testing service you need: Travel or workplace. Upon payment, you will be emailed a booking link automatically where you can select a convenient time and date for you to take your online test. We are open 7 days a week, from 8:00 AM to midnight EST.

Can I book for someone else?

Yes, but if you are booking for someone who requires assistance, please arrange for the support they need to operate an internet connected device such as a desktop computer, laptop, tablet or mobile device.

How does the program work?

You need a Health Canada authorized device such as the ones sold by us, Rapid Test and Trace. You pay for the session(s) you need and then book once for each session. We use Calendly, an online booking tool that sends you a meeting invite with the instructions and a link so that on the day of your session, you can click this link and join at your scheduled time. You will be connected with one of our health professionals who will observe and guide you through the testing process. Our team is required to make the interpretation and issue you a test report which will be emailed to you shortly after your session ends.

How long will it take?

The session can take up-to 20 minutes. If you think you need more time, book more than one session but it will be an additional cost.

Is this like the program at the pharmacies?

Yes, but rather than you booking weeks in advance, driving out to the location, on good or bad weather, you can simply connect online and save time and money.

Do you have COVID tests for travel?

Yes, we offer both travel and workplace testing.

How do I book in my family?

Currently, you must book a session for each family member because we need to create a record for every individual and gather data from them. Coming soon, there will be a process to book multiple family members.

Can I use the tests that I bought from Rapid Test & Trace when I go away on vacation?

Yes you can!

Is your testing program authorized for travel?
