Who must be tested for COVID-19?
As per the Minister’s Directive: COVID-19: Long-Term Care Home
Surveillance Testing and Access to Homes (Minister’s Directive)
effective January 8, 2021, all staff, student placement and
volunteers working in long-term care homes must be tested regularly
in accordance with the Minister’s Directive, unless the exception
for individuals who have previously had laboratory confirmed
COVID-19 applies. The testing requirements in the Minister’s
Directive include all individuals working in long-term care homes
who are: • Staff as defined in the Long-Term Care Homes Act, 2007 •
Volunteers as defined in the Long-Term Care Homes Act, 2007 •
Student placement, meaning any person working in the long-term care
home as part of a clinical placement requirement of an educational
program of a college or university, and who does not meet the
definition of “staff” or “volunteer” under the Long-Term Care Homes
Act, 2007. The Minister’s Directive also includes additional
testing and documentation requirements for general visitors,
caregivers and support workers.
When should you perform Dewei COVID-19 Ag Rapid Test?
The COVID-19 Ag Rapid test should NOT be used for diagnosis of
COVID-19 infection. Any individual who is symptomatic or a contact
of a confirmed case should be directed to their healthcare
provider, an assessment centre, or participating licensed community
lab to seek PCR testing.
If an individual previously tested positive for COVID-19, should
they be tested again?
An individual who has previously had laboratory-PCR confirmed
COVID-19 and was cleared by the local public health unit (PHU),
should generally not be re-tested for surveillance purposes due to
persistent shedding. Previously cleared individuals should continue
to follow
public health guidance for COVID-19 prevention, including
self-isolating after high risk exposures to cases.
Re-testing after clearance should generally only be done with new
the onset of new COVID-19 symptoms and can be considered if there
is exposure to a confirmed case of COVID-19 or in an outbreak
and/or at the direction of the local PHU. Individuals who have
previously been
infected with and recovered from COVID-19 should not undergo
antigen testing.
If an individual has been vaccinated or immunized for COVID-19, do
they still need to be tested prior to visiting a long-term care
home?
Yes, the testing requirements of the Minister’s Directive continue
to apply to individuals who have been vaccinated, in addition to
continuing to follow public health measures including masking,
physical distancing, hand hygiene, and symptom screening. This
includes active screening on entry to the long-term care home for
symptoms and exposures for COVID-19, including temperature checks,
attesting to not be experiencing any of the typical and atypical
symptoms of COVID-19 (in accordance with Directive #3 issued by the
Chief Medical Officer of Health).
Do individuals who test positive on the rapid antigen test need to
be confirmed with lab-based PCR testing?
A positive test result on the rapid antigen test should be
considered a preliminary positive and requires a confirmatory
laboratory-based PCR test. The following actions should be taken:
1. Counsel individual that the result is preliminary positive and
PCR confirmation is required.
2. Issue guidance to return home and self-isolate until receipt of
confirmatory laboratory PCR test result.
3. Ensure confirmatory laboratory-based PCR testing is performed
within 24 hours.
4. Report the preliminary positive result to the local Public
Health unit as soon as possible.
