Thousands more rapid antigen testing kits that allow people to screen for COVID-19 at home will be made available next week, according to provincial health officials. During a technical briefing Friday, the Provincial Emergency Operations Centre (PEOC) said 750,000 testing kits will be distributed to schools across the province. So, the list online does contain information about who still has tests available,” Kimens said. The province says point-of-care rapid antigen self-tests should only be performed on those who are not showing COVID symptoms. However, he said the point-of-care tests “do have a value” and give people peace of mind.
