As part of a big provincial push to stop the spread of COVID-19, rapid antigen tests will be distributed at several locations in Peterborough over the next few weeks.
Rapid antigen tests provide results in 15-20 minutes after administering the test.
Officials say the testing is used for screening purposes only and should not be used for diagnosing someone with symptoms or exposure to the novel coronavirus.
