Pop-up testing (antigen testing) is for asymptomatic people over 16 who have not been to the potential COVID exposure sites (see next tweet); results usually within 20 minutes.
Here's the map of potential COVID exposure sites. You can zoom in and click on the coronavirus icons to get details about each site: google.com/maps/d/u/0/edi…

Asymptomatic people can also get a PCR test at the primary assessment centres, with results usually within 48 hours (lately, people have been telling me results are coming in as quickly as 6 hours) nshealth.ca/coronavirustes…
The pop-up testing sites are staffed primarily by volunteers. You can volunteer (no medical experience necessary) by signing up here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
