As the province looks ahead to Stage 2 of the Relaunch Strategy, more people will be able to get tested for the novel coronavirus.
Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Deena Hinshaw says, starting Friday, residents of Calgary can sign up to get a COVID-19 test. Asymptomatic testing will expand to the rest of the province on Monday, June 1.
“This will help provide data to further understand the impacts of moving to Stage 2 of Alberta’s relaunch strategy. Expanded testing will also help us to understand where there might be undetected positive cases, and therefore, prevent further spread of the virus.”
Stage 2 will include the reopening of K-12 schools with restrictions, more scheduled surgeries, some larger gatherings, movie theatres, and personal services such as artificial tanning, esthetics, cosmetic skin and body treatments, manicures, pedicures, waxing, facial treatments, massage and reflexology.
