- Expanded testing criteria: In addition to now allowing for testing of some asymptomatic residents and staff in long-term care and retirement homes experiencing an outbreak, the Province added a list of less common COVID-19 symptoms to the testing criteria and has again increased the categories of people eligible for testing.These expanded criteria will allow us to test more people and get a better sense of the potential scope of infection in our community. This is important into the future to enable more targeted strategies and the eventual relaxation of restrictions.The new categories of people eligible for testing, if they are experiencing at least one symptom, include people and workers in congregate settings, first responders, caregivers, people with frequent health care contact and people living in remote, isolated, rural or indigenous communities.This revised testing criteria has been added to the Ottawa Public Health website.
