Despite millions of undistributed RATs, they're not accessible in some places across 🇨🇦b/c lack of proper communication & fractured distribution approaches, doctors say. With #COVID19 on the rise, these tests should be easily/freely available

Hey Canadians,
How easy is it for you to free the RATs?
Do you live in a province with easy access or no access at all?
How do you source your COVID tests?
We would love to know in the comments

Anyone know how I can access some the stockpiled RATs the government has warehoused? I play in an over 50 men’s hockey league and would like to distribute them to team captains for use with COVID policies I’m currently drafting. Ping @joeolivermd@SylviaJonesMPP@fordnation
