Two Calgary schools will be getting rapid COVID-19 testing pilot projects.
CBC News has learned from multiple sources that the education minister Adriana LaGrange will join health minister Tyler Shandro and Alberta’s chief medical officer of health Dr. Deena Hinshaw to announce the pilot on Thursday at 3:30 p.m.
It’s expected that one Calgary Board of Education school and one Calgary Catholic School District school will participate in the pilot.
One goal for this pilot is to help officials understand just how widespread asymptomatic COVID-19 cases are in the community.
More to come.
