This website and service will be shutting down mid-June 2023. As per the data retention policy all data will be securely destroyed. Thank you to all or our loyal customers. The service has served it's purpose and is thankfully no longer needed. We operated the site as a way to give back during the pandemic and all proceeds went back into running the site and operating the service at no cost for non-profits. Thank you for everything.

  • Will this software protect my team from Covid19?
    This software will keep you compliant with provincial Covid19 employee screening requirements and could help you reduce the risk of a major outbreak in your workplace and community.
  • Is this app really Canadian?
    CovidControl.ca was developed in Oakville, Ontario, and all our servers are in Canada and all of our staff are Canadian. We’re as Canadian as it gets!
  • Isn't there a free way to do this?
    Each province has online tools to covid screening surveys and they work well for individuals. In addition, some businesses have used various online tools for screening. Many of these online tools don't keep the data in Canada. When a business has to ensure compliance it becomes a problem for staff and visitors to submit the screening results to your business and for you to organize and keep the data safe and to properly dispose of the data at the right time. And if you need to provide details for contact tracing, it's cumbersome. CovidControl.ca simplifies and streamlines the process to keep you safe and compliant for a nominal fee.
  • Can I have multiple locations?
    Yes, you can have as many locations as you need. View the pricing page for more details.
  • Can I use the screening tool in my province?
    Yes. When you select the province for your location, the system will automatically use the screening questions recommended by that province's health officials.
  • Can I add my own questions or edit them?
    Not at this time. To keep things simple for employees and visitors we've used the recommended screenings questions for each province. This is a feature we may add in the future though. If this is a feature you'd like to see please let us know by contacting us.
  • I have an idea for something that would make the site better, are you open to suggestions?
    Yes absolutely. Let us know what you think and we'll talk about it at the next development meeting. Please contact us here.
