NEW: An Ontario program that distributes free rapid tests for COVID-19 at grocery stores and pharmacies will end after this month.
The Ministry of Health wrote in a memo to the retailers recently that with lower rates of COVID-19, high vaccination rates and decreasing demand for tests, the program will wind down as of June 30.However, the ministry says free rapid tests will still be distributed in some "high priority" communities through organizations such as community health centres and Ontario Health Teams until Dec. 31.
NDP health critic France Gelinas says the tests should continue to be available to people who need them, and there are vulnerable people across the province. Online retailers are still selling rapid tests, but not everyone who wants them will be able to afford them, said Gelinas, who represents the Sudbury, Ont.-area riding of Nickel Belt.
