Lajomee knows better than most how the COVID-19 testing process operates. Over the past six weeks, she’s been tested a staggering five times for the new coronavirus and each result has come back the same: positive. “It’s just the same thing over and over again.
Everyone at the hospital knows who I am now,” she said. “I was scared, to be honest with you, because I have my mother-in-law and I have my children at home.
And I was confused because I thought I did the best I could to be safe.” The 35-year-old mother of four works at a Toronto care home for people with disabilities and requires a negative test result before she can return to work.
