Testing of over 300 passengers has been quick, reliable and inexpensive, says respirologist with project
A respirologist who is part of the COVID-19 rapid-testing pilot project at Vancouver International Airport says preliminary results show promise in deploying such testing at B.C.’s hard-hit long-term care homes.
