Ontario's health minister says people with COVID-19 symptoms can be safely tested for the virus in pharmacies.

Published Wednesday, November 17, 2021 2:58PM ESTTORONTO - Ontario's government defended its plan Wednesday, even as opposition legislators and public health experts expressed safety concerns.

She also said there will be a list of participating pharmacies and signage posted outside so people know that people with COVID-19 symptoms may be present before entering the facility. Dr. Anna Banerji, a professor at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health, said she wouldn't want to go into a pharmacy where people with COVID-19 symptoms are getting tested.

“Unless the pharmacies can ensure that there's a separation between the sick people and the average consumer that's going into Shopper's Drug Mart or whichever pharmacy, I think this could be a place for transmission,” she said.

Is that Dr. Birx

It’s safe, they’ll have a separate line that’s right beside the one your grandparents use to pick up their medication. Totally safe!! Who the F! thought this was a bright idea?!

I say let’s perform the tests in Christine Elliott’s living room.

Semantics. Yes, they will be safely tested. Will anyone else be safe from Covid infection being spread by those being safely tested? May I suggest that the OHM and Dougie go and do a lengthy photo op at SDM while symptomatic people are being tested! Show us how safe it is!

But what about all those Do Not Enter if ? Posts . Their logic is total nonsense!

I'll be getting my symptomatic testing done exclusively in pharmacies within Newmarket—Aurora riding.

So deadly if you think you have it go down to your local shop and get tested. Lol. If you do test positive to the most deadliest virus, just go home.

Wow needto be testing at pharmacy now but need to be vaccinated to walk through a winter festival wonderland 🤡🤡🤡🤡👽

I will start to avoid pharmacies then. F this.
