COVID testing ‘breach of trust’: Health-care providers call for accountability after investigation
Description
December 22, 2023
There's been plenty of reaction to a Global News investigation into COVID-19 rapid tests procured by the Canadian government during the height of the pandemic. After digging into this story for over a year, our journalists found evidence that this particular test's supplier, Toronto-based BTNX, gave Health Canada incomplete data about the test's accuracy. Heather Yourex-West has that story.
