Manitoba’s road to re-opening is beginning with increased testing capacity in the province.
That was the message today from Premier Brian Pallister.
With the help of Dynacare, the province expects to triple the province's current capacity by the end of the summer.
In efforts to increase testing, Dynacare will begin significantly increasing COVID-19 testing alongside Manitoba’s primary public health lab, Cadham Provincial Lab.
Effective immediately, the province is expanding testing to anyone who is showing symptoms of COVID-19.
People showing mild symptoms including a cough, runny nose, sore throat, and fever will now be able to receive testing.
The Manitoba Premier and says this is a crucial step before re-opening.
“It’s necessary we continue to increase our testing so we can ensure the health and wellbeing of Manitobans through effective monitoring of COVID as we work towards a strategy of re-starting our economy.”
Pallister is set to release more details about Manitoba`s re-opening plan tomorrow.
