Prov + nat’l public health labs across 🇨🇦 continue to test at a high rate, with #COVID19 tests now completed for over 273,000 people in Canada. Around 4% of these people have been confirmed as positive and 95% confirmed as negative, #TestandTrace
It is important to test the right people, at the right time, in the right place. 🇨🇦 has taken a strategic approach to testing, with provincial and territorial testing approaches that consider & adapt to the evolving epidemiology. #COVID19
🇨🇦’s strategy maintains a priority on testing severe hospitalised cases, healthcare workers, vulnerable populations & other individuals who may directly or indirectly spread #COVID19 to high-risk people/communities/facilities. #TestandTrace
As a result, 🇨🇦 has maintained a 3-4% positivity rate, which is within a preferred range, considered sensitive enough to permit accurate detection of where the disease is circulating. #COVID19 #TestAndTrace
