Yesterday, the federal government announced plans to purchase 7.9 million tests and 3,800 test analyzing devices from Abbott Rapid Diagnostics, pending Health Canada approval.
The deal to procure the new testing devices came amid considerable pressure for the federal government to provide a faster form of testing to address what's become hours-long lineups and days-long waits for results in some cities.

where's the quick 15m antigen tests? how will this Abbott one help with screening and monitoring when it takes 1.5 hours for each test to be read by the machine? how many tests can these approved machines do at once? so many ?'s
I don’t understand a few things. Abbott appears tues aft on HC pending list after feds announce deal pending approval. Wed it’s approved. Fast tracked. Last week “HC will not be pressured to approve”. Crooked government we have.
New test for genetic material we all have. Covaids has yet to be isolated and purified! Just more positive tests to support their crimes against humanity!
Shout out MichelleRempel for doing the work the health minister refused to do
This is getting ridiculous !! A good investigation must be done on that . Health Canada approved a test that doesn't meet their own criteria . Is it me or there is something wrong ? SONA applied before Abbott and they do have a real POC antigen test who exceed by far Abbott !
Lol so we approved an inaccurate test, months late, is what you're actually saying? What a fucking win for Canada 😂👍.
They approved the wrong test. There is a Canadian Antigen test that is accurate before onset of symptoms, and could easily be made for home use. SonaNanotech . Stop buying american when there is a better test available from a Canadian Company
As part of this story would you kindly include the fact that Abbott labs has racked up 659,000,000$ in fines with regards to government contracting, and how this test doesnt meet the guidelines clearly set out by GovCanHealth yesterday ? Thanks.
Still not an antigen test. Please approve sona for a fast reliable test that is Canadian made. sonananotech
Good to know GovCanHealth approved a shitty test.
Yeah and it isn’t accurate
Is this the test developed in Edmonton ?
Cool, can I go back to living my normal life now? I'll even sign a waiver.
