E.R. doctor concerns over not enough COVID-19 testing in B.C.
Description
March 30, 2020
An emergency room doctor on the front lines in the fight against COVID - 19 says there's likely a lot of community cases we're not picking up because of current testing guidelines. Fewer tests mean fewer detected cases - he says that doesn't necessarily mean we're winning. Dr. Sean Wormsbecker fears the public might become complacent when physical distancing is most needed to curb the spread. Here's more from our interview with him.
