N.B. Lung Association increasing access to COVID-19 testing for immunocompromised – CBC

The test kits include 10 rapid tests, 20 KN95 respirators

Sep 19, 2022

The New Brunswick Lung Association has found a new location for their test kit initiative which provides COVID-19 rapid tests and masks to people with a lung disease or who are immunocompromised, and for the people living with them.

Dusty Green, the manager of marketing and development at the association, said the project has been ongoing for a few months and it’s an effort to increase access to testing.

“It’s really just a matter of wanting to give people the ability to test without any sort of hoops that they need to jump through in order to do that,” he said.

The Fredericton Public Library will serve as the new pick-up location for the test kits.

The kits include 10 tests and 20 KN95 respirator masks. There is a limit of one kit per household every 90 days. People who qualify for the kits don’t need to have symptoms in order to get them.
