Ontario runs out of COVID-19 rapid tests handed out at LCBO retailers in less than a day
CTV
All COVID-19 rapid tests designated to be handed out free of charge at LCBO retailers have been distributed, the Ontario government says.
On Wednesday, Ontario announced it would use select LCBO locations as COVID-19 rapid test distribution sites, in what the province dubbed a "holiday testing blitz." On Friday morning, 100 LCBO retailers across the province handed out the tests to residents, many of whom lined up outside, free of charge.
But by Friday evening, the LCBO announced that their supply had run out.
“Our supply of COVID-19 rapid test kits has run out,” the corporation said in a Tweet on Friday night. “Thanks for your patience and understanding.”
The Ontario government also confirmed through their website that the LCBO no longer has tests to distribute.
