EndTheMandatesNow NoVaccinePassportsAnywhere NoMasks

Does Covid show up falsely in a rapid test most of the time?

So nothing has changed!!!

Still makes no sense. PCR test 72hrs or Antigen test 24hrs, you still have the stress of the result. And if you test positive you still have to quarantine 10 days abroad. This conference was useless, it was like watching a bad movie where the dog dies at the end.

This information is only when you are coming back to Canada but what about the people who are going to other countries those countries need Negative PCR Test from orgin Departure with 72hours so we clear rules in FMOH we will select random is this going to be specific to 1 ethnic

You didn't need a PCR to come back, if people read the gov site it lists 4 types of molecular tests PCR - Polymerase chain reaction Nucleic acid test (NAT) or Nucleic acid amplification test (NAATs) Reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP)

Still makes 0 sense. You can fly anywhere in Canada with no test. Why the heck are we still testing to board a flight?

Drop all tests, what an idiotic policy and utter waste of tax payer funds

I honestly don't care what test I have to take as long as what ever the outcome is I can come home when scheduled . Where is that information?

'Travellers will still have to take a test, but can get a rapid antigen test.' 👍 The pandemic is NOT over !

Don't care, end the mandates

What good is that if non essential travel warnings exist. Many turned away with cancelled trips to Portugal this week..crazy..

FYI, my husband was in FL in Nov. He had 3 molecular tests done (2 PCR and a NAAT) because results were slow coming back. He got all results in time for his flight. But ALL were FREE. ! he got from Manatee County, 1 from CVS and 1 from Walgreens... all free.

They're pretending not to understand that the vaccinated can still spread the virus, so basing that on their vaccination status makes no sense.

about time! we have suffered the most!
