COVID-19: Canada sending 140 million rapid antigen tests to provinces, territories

Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos announced on Wednesday that the federal government will deliver 140 million rapid COVID-19 tests to provinces and territories this month as the Omicron variant continues to spread.

“As requested by our provincial and territorial colleagues, these tests will be allocated to provinces and territories on a per capita basis,” Duclos said.

“Deliveries are already well under way and we will keep you updated as often as possible.”

Rapid COVID-19 antigen tests have been hard to find since Omicron arrived in the country last month.

During the update, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also addressed a recent Sunwing Airlines flight after videos shared on social media appear to show passengers not wearing masks as they gather in close proximity, singing and dancing in the aisle and on seats.

“I think like all Canadians who’ve seen those videos, I’m extremely frustrated,” he told reporters.

Trudeau said Transport Canada was taking the situation “extremely seriously” and that there would be a “full investigation.”
