COVID-19 Testing Response Plan 

The COVID-19 Testing Response Plan poster provides a step-by-step guide in the event of a suspected case of COVID-19 within your facility.

Community and facility surveillance checklist

A detailed checklist is to be completed in the event a suspected case is positive.
