  • building capacity in First Nation communities to do PCR-lab quality testing

This episode dives into the details around COVID-19 testing in northern, remote and isolated sites in Canada. It’s a lot to take in -- but it’s also an opportunity to learn from two of Canada’s leading scientists who are supporting Community-Based Testing programs at the Public Health Agency of Canada
