As the province prepares for the construction of a call for COVID-19 testing in the coming months, the fitness government has established a new immediate test at the Eastlink Center auto park.
The new driving control site is recently planned to comply with the call for COVID-19 controls, as the province’s 62 public schools open on September 8. The site is being used lately to verify a must-have staff and their circle of relatives.
A cough and fever clinic is still in operation at the Eastlink Center, however the hockey rink, which has been used as a driver detection site, will likely be back on duty with the Charlottetown Islanders in the fall.
Some complained of delays between the initial 811 call and the time it took to make an appointment.
“We listened to the audience fearing they would have to wait for the appointments.” When we know the school will also be in session, we want smart access to the tests,” Morrison said.
Morrison showed that there were no new COVID-19 cases on Prince Edward Island. born Tuesday. E.e.i. had a total of 44 more people who tested positive for the virus since the birth of the pandemic.
He said the province plans to double its detection capabilities and put in place an online formula that allows Americans to get the results of the controls.
“We expect more changes to ensure that we continue to provide the most productive imaginable access to COVID-19 checks and are ready to handle epidemics or higher check wishes as they occur,” said Marion Dowling, Head of Nursing at Health P.E.I.
Morrison added that the Main Office of Public Health is building checkpoints in West Prince and Kings County, in addition to existing checkpoints in Summerside, Borden and Charlottetown.
Anyone with COVID-19 symptoms, such as dry cough or shortness of breath, can call 811 to schedule the test time.
But Morrison said there were no plans to conduct large-scale tests on academics or schoolchildren that still show no symptoms.
“The time to check is when other people have symptoms,” Morrison said. “The advice is not to do widespread asymptomatic checks in most cases at this time.”
Some asymptomatic tests are still underway with high-risk groups, such as citizens of long-term care centres, but also with some staff, adding agricultural staff and truckers.
Morrison added that the Main Office of Public Health plans to temporarily ease some public fitness restrictions, adding limits to giant public gatherings, until October if there is no significant build-up in new cases or symptoms of network transmission.
But when asked about Nova Scotia’s plans to alleviate the 14-day self-isolation requirement for others traveling from the rest of Canada, Morrison did not recommend that there be immediate plans to do the same on Prince Edward Island.
Morrison said the Main Office of Public Health is focusing on plans to make sure they return to school in the fall.
