Nova Scotians can now be given the option to receive the results of their COVID-19 test by email, according to Nova Scotia Health Authority on Tuesday.
The option will be provided to those who visit primary assessment centres, which are the COVID-19 testing locations people are directed to by 811. “We want to deliver results more quickly to people, while also ensuring they have the information they need,” said Gary O’Toole, Senior Director, Population and Public Health at Nova Scotia Health Authority, in a press release. “The need for COVID-19 tests continues to be high and we also want to be prepared for potential second and third waves of the disease.” [ Sign up for our Health IQ newsletter for the latest coronavirus updates ] According
