  • Canada - Alberta is testing 1,000 asymptomatic people in Calgary each day between May 11 and 18 - As of May 11, 50 people tested positive for the virus.

    Speaking on asymptomatic testing, Hinshaw said as of May 11, 50 people tested positive for the virus.

    Those people did not show any symptoms.

    “It is important to know first of all that I do not have information on how many of these are asymptomatic close contacts of confirmed cases and how many have no known exposure.”

    The province is testing 1,000 asymptomatic people in Calgary each day between May 11 and 18. The tests are prioritized to people who work outside and are capped at 1,000 to ensure there are enough tests for those who are showing symptoms. LINK
