Ontario's COVID-19 assessment centres are mostly empty, with only a handful of people showing up to be tested each day, according to research by CBC News. "The shortage of actual test swabs is dire and widespread," said Helen Hsu, a physician working at an assessment centre in Ottawa. Premier Doug Ford said 'no more excuses' Wednesday as he ordered officials to boost Ontario's COVID-19 testing to 13,000 per day.
