They are not rapid tests. Each test still must be processed at a laboratory. During the pilot, students were given test kits at school and returned the capsules the next morning. A courier or school nurse brought them to the lab.
Children who develop symptoms at school could be given take-home test kits when their parents pick them up, which could be done at school or later at home. Kits could be given to asymptomatic children who are identified as close contacts to make it easier for them to get tested as recommended. The pilot test this spring was among special-education students who remained at in-person classes while most Ontario students shifted to online learning at home.
Rapid tests are typically used several times a week in mass screening programs of asymptomatic people in order to identify cases that would otherwise go undetected and to give an indication of the prevalence of COVID-19 in a population.
healthing_ca Stop it
healthing_ca CCP（chinese communist party) created and spread the virus COVID-19 around the world. It is high time held the CCP accountable! Please wake up and eradicate the CCP out of the earth! CCP: Chinese Communist Party CCP≠CHINA CCP≠CHINESE CCPvirus
healthing_ca When the whole world is still trying to figure out the origin of the Covid-19 Virus, and many countries are still experiencing mass infection rate despite high vaccination rate. What secret “weapon” CCP possesses and why they are so sure about it?
healthing_ca So when society was not vaccinated or 'SAFE' this wasnt a good idea? But now that vaccine role out is in full swing & society should be 'SAFE'. Now just now to keep the party going with home testing kits its a fantastic idea. All in the catch phrase bullshit words 'FEEL SAFE'.🤣
healthing_ca Wow. So much whining to one post.
healthing_ca Who are you again?
