Ontario Premier Doug Ford, joined by Deputy Premier and Health Minister Christine Elliott and Training, Colleges and Universities Minister Ross Romano, held a briefing on Thursday on the province’s ongoing COVID-19 measures.
Ford said it was “frustrating” to see testing in Ontario lag behind other provinces, but said he’s asked his team to come up with a plan for random testing by next week, saying he wants to see testing expand into more industries including food processing, trucking and automotive professions. He added that he feels that the province needs to test more people, not just those experiencing symptoms.
