The Saskatchewan Workers Compensation Board (WCB) said it will not accept rapid test results for claims relating to COVID-19, and will continue to require a PCR test.

In a statement to CTV News, the WCB said that work-related COVID-19 claims are accepted if there is a confirmed link between the workers exposure and their employment as long as certain conditions are met.

Generally, if the WCB considers transmission of a communicable disease like COVID-19 to be work related the compensability will be made on the basis of a known medical diagnosis provided in a medical report.

The WCB has not been accepting rapid test results, as there is no way to obtain a medical report confirming these results, the statement reads.

The province announced on Dec. 30 it was no longer recommending asymptomatic residents who test positive on a COVID-19 rapid test to confirm results with a PCR test.
