Alberta is expanding its COVID-19 rapid testing program to target asymptomatic people in various sectors across the province, including oil and gas, schools and banks.
Students at two Calgary schools -- one in the Calgary Board Education and one in the Calgary Catholic School District -- will be involved in a pilot rapid testing program, which will begin as early as next week.
Officials are hoping to learn if rapid tests will be an effective way of managing outbreaks, Education Minister Adriana LaGrange said Thursday.
