Ontario health officials unveiled new testing guidelines and criteria Thursday in the wake of the worsening coronaviurs pandemic.

The new guidelines, according to health officials, are for vulnerable populations, including healthcare workers, caregivers, and first responders.

They were announced just a day after Ontario Premier Doug Ford called the province’s low testing numbers “unacceptable.” Though the province is able to conduct upwards of 13,000 tests a day, health officials have been lagging well behind that target.
