No more PCR for most but you can use rapid antigen tests.
Can we have rapid tests?
No, but you can stay home until you’re better.
Can we have paid sick days?
Also, no.
NL public health says if you don't qualify for PCR testing you can use a rapid test, but there are no plans to hand them out, so you'll have to buy one yourself (they have been difficult to get and cost around $15 a test)

Dear valued Dominion Employee,
Thank you for your hard work during the pandemic.
We didn’t want a strike but after we make record profits, take our cut, do some share buybacks, and yadda yadda we barely have anything left over.

The vast majority of the people that are/will be enforcing the use of face masks aren’t getting paid enough as it is but they’re definitely not being paid enough to deal with anger, violence, attitude, or vitriol from customers angry about having to wear a mask. Don’t be at it.
