Access to asymptomatic COVID-19 testing to expand to more personal care homes Corwyn Friesen, mySteinbach Health and Seniors Care Minister Heather Stefanson at a recent COVID-19 briefing. The province is expanding access to rapid COVID-19 testing for personal care home (PCH) staff, following the successful trial of rapid testing for asymptomatic staff (staff with no symptoms of COVID-19) at three Manitoba personal care homes. “The fast identification of a positive test result enables the quickest possible action for the facility and the province,” said Health and Seniors Care Minister Heather Stefanson. “Using our available complement of rapid tests to further expand access to this testing will increase the safety of residents and staff in personal care homes.”
