August 25, 2021

Saskatchewan Health Minister Paul Merriman said on Wednesday that it can be "very traumatizing" to receive a false positive COVID-19 test result after 171 people in long-term care received the lab error. Merriman says that if anyone wants to get re-tested they should come back and they would be allowed to do so.
