The Nova Scotia Health Authority says they’re setting up two asymptomatic COVID testing sites in Cape Breton this week.
The rapid testing clinics will be at St. Theresa’s Hall in Sydney on Wednesday and at the Canada Games Complex at CBU on Thursday, from 1 to 6 PM.
Public health authorities offer rapid testing to anyone over 16 who is not showing symptoms, have not travelled or visited a potential exposure location, and have not been in contact with anyone who’s tested positive.
The NSHA says a negative result on the rapid test is not a guarantee, so it’s important to continue to wear a mask, wash your hands, maintain social distance and stick to a small social bubble.
