With the rise of COVID-19 cases across the province, Laurentian has introduced a rapid COVID-19 testing center on residence’s student street that has identified one preliminary positive case.
Lyne Rivet, manager of Health and Wellness Services, says that preliminary positives are not confirmed positives but they “have to report it because according to the health protection and promotion act, it’s a reportable disease even though it’s a preliminary positive.”
Rivet confirmed that the one preliminary positive case lives in residence, although did not specify which one.
