'Impossible situation': Experts worry about changes to COVID-19 testing in Alberta

'Impossible situation': Experts worry about changes to COVID-19 testing in Alberta

Changes to Alberta's COVID-19 testing protocols raised concerns about the lack of an accurate case count as rapid antigen tests take on a more significant role, experts warn.

Changes to Alberta's COVID-19 testing protocols raised concerns about the lack of an accurate case count as rapid antigen tests take on a more significant role, experts warn.

The province's top doctor announced changes to COVID-19 testing Thursday as active cases increase.

Alberta Health now recommends that you no longer book appointments to get a PCR test if you have a rapid testing kit.

If you are symptomatic and test positive on a rapid test, notify any close contacts from the last 48 hours and isolate for 10 days or until symptoms resolve — whichever is longer.

If you're symptomatic and test negative on a rapid test, wait 24 to 48 hours and take a second rapid test. Should that test come back negative, remain in isolation until symptoms are gone.

The exceptions to the new testing recommendations are if you do not have access to rapid tests, work in high-priority settings like health care, or have a high-risk condition.

"As Omicron is spreading farther and faster than anything we've ever seen before, and no one in Canada will be able to maintain PCR testing for every community case with mild symptoms," said Dr. Deena Hinshaw on Thursday.
