Dr. Janice Fitzgerald, Newfoundland and Labrador's chief medical officer of health, said expanded COVID-19 testing will begin on Thursday. Fitzgerald said effective Thursday the province is broadening its testing criteria for the virus. As testing begins to cover more of the population under the new criteria, so too does the possibility of positive tests showing up negative. Fitzgerald said the new testing criteria are to catch as many cases as possible as cases stemming from the so-called "Caul's cluster" begin to dwindle. Haggie said a company in New Brunswick will soon be capable of producing the reagents required for COVID-19 testing for the entire country.
