During the Omicron response there are two initiatives that can enable you to have workers who are required to isolate as a contact to be on site:
- the Close Contact Exemption scheme, for critical services

Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs) have been cleared for sale to all organisations and businesses, and from March will be available to the general public. These RATs won’t come from the Ministry of Health’s central supply for the public health response, instead businesses and other organisations will need to source them independently. Global supply constraints mean these RATs may not immediately be available on retail shelves.
RATs will still be available for free as part of the public health response, including if you are symptomatic, isolating, or part of the close contact exemption scheme.
