WINNIPEG A trio of personal care homes in Manitoba are getting an added layer of protection in the fight against COVID-19. Three sites, including Winnipeg’s Deer Lodge Centre, are being sent Abbott Panbio COVID-19 antigen tests. “It’s a rapid test that we get the results back in 20 minutes,” said Kevin Scott, chief operating officer at Deer Lodge Centre. “It’s really that extra measure for us to be able to keep our patients and residents safe.” The goal is to stop COVID from unknowingly infiltrating these highly vulnerable places and infecting the people who call them home.
