Free rapid COVID-19 tests that people can administer at home are now available for those who have not tested positive for COVID-19.

On Monday 11,822 rapid-test kits were distributed across the province.

The tests are designed for people two and older. Most kits have five tests to be used over a 10-day period. People 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult to acquire a kit.

All the locations will be open during their scheduled hours or until the daily supply has been given out. New supplies of test kits will continue to be delivered to the pickup locations throughout the week. Anyone who has been directed by Public Health to isolate is not permitted to leave isolation if they receive a negative result from a rapid-test kit.

A full list of locations is available on both Vitalité’s and Horizon’s website. More information on the rapid-test kits program is available the provincial government's website.
