WINNIPEG The province will begin rapid testing of asymptomatic staff at three licensed personal care homes in Manitoba. The three sites chosen are Donwood Manor and Deer Lodge Centre in Winnipeg, and Country Meadows Personal Care Home in Neepawa. “This pilot project will expand the asymptomatic testing that is already underway in personal care homes by testing staff who do not have any symptoms and is the first step in plans for an expansion of this work to other sites in the weeks ahead,” said Health Minister Cameron Friesen in a news release. The province said currently, when a positive COVID-19 case is identified, all residents and staff who are identified as contacts are tested regardless of whether they are showing symptoms.
