Doctors shared details on the province's COVID-19 rapid testing strategy at a Saskatchewan Health Authority physician's town hall on Thursday. The five-phase rapid antigen testing program began April 11, and is already being used by places like group homes, detox centres, pharmacies and schools throughout the province. On Monday, daycares, physician offices, congregate workplaces and correctional facilities can apply to get antigen testing training. The SHA is currently offering training for PanBio and BD Veritor nasal swabs, which typically provide results in 15 minutes. Eligible workplaces or organizations need to complete an intake application, complete online training provided by the health authority, train their testers, get the rapid testing supplies, test and report the results.
