COVID-19 vaccination or negative test to be required for MLAs to sit in Alberta legislature: Nixon

Nixon indicated that rule will apply to staff at the Legislative Assembly Office but noted that since MLAs fall under a different jurisdiction, applying the policy to elected lawmakers has been more complicated.“The requirement, the need to be able to make sure that democratically elected officials can take their seat inside the chamber is something we have to address,” he said.Nixon said he expects that rules will be in place to also require MLAs who choose not to get vaccinated to produce a negative PCR test result or rapid test result within 72 hours of every scheduled shift and pay for that themselves.There are two Independent MLAs in Alberta’s legislature: Todd Loewen and Drew Barnes. Both are former UCP caucus members.

Rapid COVID-19 tests for Hamilton schools going where transmission is high, vaccinations are low

“targeted” COVID-19 rapid test program for schools and child care pretty much the way the province’s chief medical officer recommended on Tuesday.Ontario’s top doctor, Dr. Kieran Moore, revealed communities with a high prevalence of active COVID-19 cases would be the spots where the rapid test would roll out and that widespread asymptomatic surveillance testing in schools would not be supported, claiming it wouldn’t be as effective.“When you apply these tests in a low-risk setting you’ll find that you get more false positives than true positives and you’ll send people for PCR testing as a result and they’ll be off school because they have to wait for the result,” Moore said.
