COVID-19: Ontario’s top doctor says ‘testing is a luxury’ amid Omicron surge
Description
January 6, 2022
Ontario’s chief medical officer of health Dr. Kieran Moore urged people Thursday to stay home if they develop symptoms, with or without a test, adding that “testing is a luxury” given the limited supply of rapid antigen tests. If he were to develop symptoms, he added, he would not seek out a confirmatory test and would stay home for the five-day isolation period.
