Coronavirus outbreak: B.C. health officer says no reliable at-home testing yet
Description
April 1, 2020
British Columbia's chief provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said on Wednesday at this time there are no at-home testing kits available that she is aware of that can be deemed reliable yet. She said this is because the tests may show false-positive or false-negative results, but they are looking into other options that could come in the future including tests that can tell people if they had the virus already.
