Here are the LCBO stores with rapid COVID-19 tests in Waterloo region and area

Kitchener doctor Dalia Hasan says it's been an "absolute frenzy" by people to scoop up free rapid COVID-19 tests in Ontario.
Hasan, who runs the Twitter account Called C19TestFinders, said places in the Toronto area with testing kits ran out within an hour.
She said the government should have mailed out kits to anyone who wants one instead of going the pop-up route, pointing out many people can't go to the sites because they are working. She also critiqued the lack of pop-ups in a number of Ontario regions.
Meanwhile, Premier Doug Ford said on Wednesday the Ontario government is making millions of free rapid tests available at pop-up sites across the province and has asked the federal government for more.
For now, kits will be available at LCBO locations. Here's where you can find them in Waterloo region and surrounding area:
Cambridge:
Guelph:
Kitchener:
Waterloo:
More locations may be added in the coming weeks and the province recommends people check its holiday pop-up blitz website.
As well, local libraries will be getting kits. The Waterloo Public Library posted online that while they are excited to be able to offer the tests, they don't currently have any and they will let the public know when tests arrive.
