We have used all forms of the rapid point-of-care tests that have been disseminated from the federal government as part of the pandemic response. That includes two tests that have a machine and are not quite as easy to scale up or as portable, as well as a large number, over 100,000, of point-of-care tests that are almost like pregnancy tests. We've used them extensively and across the province, both in waves and between waves, for asymptomatic diagnosis.
The point of that testing in between waves is to provide us with a feeling. It's an early detection system in the community for an asymptomatic virus, because this is an asymptomatic virus that spreads easily. That was useful in helping us get an early fix on where the virus was and wasn't.
During the waves, it has off-loaded pressure from our medical systems because it is not being run in labs, of course, and it's also being done by volunteers. During this wave, we've managed to maintain asymptomatic testing of up to 5,000 tests a day to promote early detection and diagnosis.
