What's The Most Effective Way Of Testing For COVID-19 In The Workplace?
These dreadful past few months spent in lockdown have made all of us eager to return to the workplace. Where before we might have wished for a day or two working from home, now we cannot wait to finally return. In some industries working from home is difficult to realise, in others, it’s simply not possible.
The entertainment industry has experienced arguably its worst year ever, but the roadmap announced by the prime minister has finally given us some hope and prospects. If everything goes according to plan, life will go back to normal by the end of June, which means businesses can start fully operating again in summer.
Why is COVID-19 testing needed in the workplace?
With restrictions being lifted, you might wonder if and why COVID-19 testing is actually needed, on return to the workplace. Despite the government slowly allowing us to return to work, the danger has not fully passed. Many Brits are yet to be vaccinated and other may choose not to get vaccinated at all. This means there is still a chance that COVID-19 will spread. Until the pandemic is completely eradicated, it is important for businesses to use COVID-19 testing to create a safe environment for their employees. To avoid contamination in the workplace, Cignpost Diagnostics offers bespoke solutions to effectively secure the health of employers and employees.
What industries does Cignpost Diagnostics work with?
As this is a global pandemic, many businesses are affected by the continuous spread of the coronavirus. COVID-19 has been part of our lives for over a year now and many businesses are growing desperate as they continue to lose revenue at a high volume. Indeed, some businesses have shuttered entirely, leaving staff unemployed. However, the pandemic has hit different industries in extremely varying ways. While the entertainment industry was suffering, the food retail industry was flourishing, as supermarkets attempted to keep up with higher demand than ever before. The industries impacted most by the pandemic are the entertainment industry, hospitality industry and travel industry, but also the sport industry and construction industry. With the testing facilities offered by Cignpost Diagnostics, these sectors have the opportunity to make a safe and responsible restart, which could potentially make up for all the loss.
COVID-19 testing for production companies
The entertainment industry has had one of the worst years when it comes to production. For the past year, film and television production has basically come to a standstill, as the pandemic made it impossible to proceed normally. Production after production was cancelled, but with the introduction of rapid on-site testing, things began to improve. Cignpost Diagnostics has worked with the BBC and Netflix, allowing TV and film production to continue safely. With their mobile testing facilities, Cignpost Diagnostics enabled productions to continue by testing entire cast and crew for COVID-19 on a daily basis during production, thereby creating a safe bubble on set.
