A family reads a book as they sit in an alleyway for hours at a COVID assessment centre at St. Michael's Hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic in Toronto on Monday, September 28, 2020. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nathan DenetteOTTAWA -- Eleven days ago, Becky Erb brought her children to a COVID-19 testing site in Ottawa. Today, she still doesn’t know if her kids are sick.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who weeks ago urged anyone who wanted a test to get one, changed his tone on Thursday. The move could help clear up testing sites, which have been plagued by hours-long lineups since school started. “We are looking at ways to expedite that and make it more efficient but again we cannot compromise on the safety and effictiveness and the quality of those tests,” Sharma said.
And Alberts at 2-3 weeks Ok then. CTV still suks
rexglacer Why is this? At Southlake hospital north of GTA, with a simple phone call to make a same day appointment, results are returned next day!
How reliable are the COVIDTests?
Labs = Jobs that Federal Government will cover 75% of Employees Wages - How many Jobs has Ford created vs costed Ontario’s workforce?he knew warned us 2nd wave -still short of test nessaties
Well they only had 7 months to prepare, maybe if Ford had of chosen to hold Trudeau accountable for rapid testing options instead of looking for pats on the head for being a 'good boy' ON would be more prepared...
Probably cause federal health canada waited so long to approve rapid testing. Trudeau trying to use Federal agencies to make provincial leaders look bad then swoop in as some fake saviour. Just like the Liberals used teacher's unions and exploited covid and children for political
My husband and I were tested on September 21st. He went first. I received my results September 24th. He is still waiting. Called public health and 25% from that day we’re not completed a week later. It has now been ten days.
It’s a simple phone call. “Hello Mr. Smith, we have received the results from your COIVD test, and they have come back negative.” Seems there is a lot of people unemployed right now that could be employed making those phone calls.
Trudeau and Health Canada are going to sit on there hands for vaccine as well for political gain and drag out covid as long as possible to make provincial leaders look bad. Its easy for them to do nothing and blame provinces.
Ford was setup by Health Canada and feds to fail. Outdated testing. They couldve approved rapid testing as the FDA in the states and europe months ago. Liberal teachers union exploited covid protection for kids as political stunt put kids at risk for there own political gain.
My 9 yr old tested positive after waiting 5 days for result and now we are on day 5 of waiting to be contacted by OPH to advise what to do! Sighhh
