After being closed for 10 days due to dangerously cold temperatures, staff at Prince Albert’s drive-thru COVID-19 testing site are back in action this week – and the weather isn’t exactly tropical. In addition to other COVID-19 testing options in P.A., the Saskatchewan Health Authority has been staffing the drive thru site seven-days a week since it opened on Dec. 2, only pausing when the mercury sinks below -30 C. Considerations are also made for windchill on an ad hock basis. The careful consideration of the weather is necessitated by the fact the site – which can do as many as 180 tests per day – is inside a repurposed carwash with large bay doors prone to drafts.
