Manitoba has announced they have made a deal with a Winnipeg-based lab to help with the current COVID-19 testing backlog. This deal could help Manitoba increase its testing capacity by up to 30% by completing an additional 1000 tests a day.
The province has been struggling to keep up with testing demands as case numbers rise due to the Omicron Variant. The current testing backlog is at more than 12,500 tests.
