‘Opening Up Booking To All Essential Workers’
The Bermuda Government’s free Covid-19 testing continues, and essential workers are welcome to book their test online.
Last night, Premier Burt tweeted saying, “Essential Workers. The Government of Bermuda’s free Covid-19 testing continues tomorrow. Today we got more 84 more people, but we were under capacity. So we are opening up booking to all essential workers in Bermuda.
“Hospital Staff, Health Care Workers, Police Officers, Fire Service, Regiment, Prison Officers, Grocery & Pharmacy staff, Gas Stations, Utility workers [Electricity, Communications, Water], Security Officers, and Stevedores, and other essentials; please book your test.
“You must have a valid ID or letter that matches your ID from an organisation mentioned above to be tested. Click this link to book your test: http://essentialworkers.resqwest.com
The booking page the Premier tweeted states, “Welcome to the Health Department’s COVID-19 health screening registration form for the Bermuda Government Molecular Diagnostic Testing Laboratory at the old White’s Supermarket at Southside. Please choose and register for a timeslot that suits you for your screening. Please ensure to bring your confirmation number with you for your screening.

How can we book our tests when we are already working 6 days a week and your testing days are not on our day off?
I recommend informing all bosses to allow their staff to have a set day/time to come and take this test.
The virus may be contained to rest homes right now, but how long do you think we have before it’s in the grocery stores?
We have people coming from all over the island still. How are they getting through all the check points?
When they’re inside the stores, they’re all on top of each other and the staff. Only in the lines do they stand 4 – 6 feet apart.
