RE:RE:RE:RAPID TESTINGThe tests will be used by public health Ontario, so any of the 14 million people in Ontario that have covid symptoms and go get a test, will get this test. They want the most accurate test available. I heard a while ago that Quebec was considering Rapid tests but they came out with this yesterday. (lets hope Quebec becomes MBX next customer)
MONTREAL -- Despite having hundreds of thousands of rapid tests ready and waiting to be used, Quebec has no need for them, the province's health minister said on Monday.
“We have nothing against rapid test but, since the beginning, especially in the second wave where we have been able now to test 35,000 to 40,000 [people] a day and even more than that, we don’t need additional tests," Health Minister Christian Dube said during a press conference.
Dub added that the rapid tests are less reliable than the PCR tests currently in use.
