Province-provided rapid tests cannot be used for negative test requirement
Saskatchewan has removed a list of locations where residents were supposed to be able to get COVID-19 rapid, self-testing kit from its website ahead of the program’s launch this week.
Last week the province posted on its website 20 locations where more than 1.3 million COVID-19 rapid, self-testing kits were supposed to be made available to the public.
That list was removed from the website over the weekend with no notice to media or the general public.
The Ministry of Health says the removal was because of an incredible demand for the take-home tests, which aren’t yet available to be picked up.
