Tested at a clinic attached to Trillium Hospital in Mississauga, just west of Toronto. Went Sunday around noon, was 2nd in line outside and once inside was still 2nd. Testing was both nasal and throat the latter being the worst part...I apologized for gagging 2X. Results online next day by 1030AM. Cost to me was $0. I mentioned that I lived with a working flight attendant who mostly does Toronto-BOS; Toronto -EWR, Toronto-DC, Toronto-ATL and they said come back in 14 days if I wanted to be re-tested. I will go this week for re-testing in order to visit my 89 yr old step-mom. Her long term care facility has had a few 14 day lock downs so part of their protocol is the requirement for a test. Last week Ontario and Federal govt launched Android and Apple app whereby via bluetooth your phone receives notice if you have been near someone in the last 14 days, with the app running, who has identified themselves as positive. It doesn't tell you who that person is but simply gives you a heads up so that you can choose follow-up testing. App was built with input from the Ontario Privacy Commissioner who fully endorses its use. One weak link is it depends on positives to add that little tidbit of info to their app. https://www.canada.ca/en/public-hea...avirus-disease-covid-19/covid-alert.html
After every Monday and Tuesday even the calendar says WTF.
