The government says it has begun deploying new COVID-19 rapid tests in some parts of the province.
Premier Doug Ford says they are currently distributing the rapid tests to protect those most vulnerable.
They are also being used in two hospitals with 20 additional hospitals preparing to launch rapid testing.
Ford says this is an important next step in their provincial strategy.
Health Minister Christine Elliott says these new tests will provide Ontarians with more access to innovative testing options and will help to quickly identify and manage outbreaks to stop the spread of COVID-19.
