Coronavirus outbreak: Dr. Tam says it’s time for Canada to ‘widen the net’ when it comes to COVID-19 testing

Canada’s chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam says the next phase of Canada’s COVID-19 response will involve testing people with a wider range of potential symptoms. Until recently, the government was asking people with mild symptoms to isolate at home without receiving a test. In order to get a better idea of who has the disease, Tam says Canada needs to start casting a wider net when it comes to who to test.
