How To Safely Organize An Event During Covid-19 In New Jersey

05/30/2021 | by

If you are trying to organize an event during Covid-19 in New Jersey, the governor’s recent announcement that restrictions are lifted for indoor spaces and venues was probably a huge relief. Although regulations are lifted, however, many still need to exercise caution until community immunity is reached. Read on to learn more about how on-site testing can help keep everyone safe.

Understanding your rapid testing options

The go-to test of most free public health sites and healthcare providers is the RT-PCR test, which requires lab processing to produce results in 48-72 hours. Although the turnaround time is extremely inconvenient, this test is the most accurate test available, making it an excellent choice for someone who needs accurate answers and has time to wait.

Events don’t have the luxury of time and need same-day results, so let’s discuss your rapid testing options.

  • Rapid antigen tests: Less accurate than RT-PCR tests, with a 1 in 5 false negative rate. However, they deliver results within 10-15 minutes, making them a valuable choice for screening large groups quickly.
  • Rapid Accula tests: These produce results within 30 minutes, but with the same accuracy as the RT-PCR test, providing the best of both worlds. These tests are excellent choices for large-group screening for events involving individuals who don’t benefit from vaccine immunity the same way most do (ie, people who have had organ transplants).
