A new rapid COVID-19 testing facility has opened in Winnipeg's North End to help make it easier for urban Indigenous people, as well as those travelling to First Nations, to be tested for the illness.
Starting Tuesday, the Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata Centre on King Street will offer COVID-19 testing to people who are symptomatic and those who need a COVID-19 test prior to travelling to a northern community, according to Monday's COVID-19 bulletin issued by the Manitoba government.
