The Saskatchewan Health Authority recently received 2.6-million rapid antigen test kits, and some of them are available to the general public as of today (Mon).

The SHA says routine, voluntary testing at home will help prevent asymptomatic transmission to those who are not able to be vaccinated, and will reduce overall COVID-19 transmission in the community.

More than 1.3-million of the kits will be distributed for free through participating fire halls, local chambers of commerce, and SHA testing and assessment centres.

The kits will be available on a first come, first served bases with one kit per household.

More than 360,000 tests will be given to First Nations communities, which the province says secures a supply for Indigenous Services Canada if there is no predictable supply directly from the federal government.

Schools will receive 720,000 rapid tests and the remainder go to other areas of the SHA’s Test to Protect Program, including congregate living facilities, health care workers and businesses that are registered for a workplace surveillance program.

These self-tests are not accepted for the negative test requirements under the Public Health Order.

The province says in a news release it has increased its request to the federal government from one-million to four-million kits per month.
