Rapid testing kits won’t be available at Regina fire halls

Regina residents seeking at-home rapid antigen self-testing kits shouldn’t try to get them from Regina Fire and Protective Services fire halls.

In an email Monday afternoon, the City of Regina said the COVID-19 self-testing kits aren’t available at city fire halls.

Last week, the provincial government said the kits would be available to the general public this week at participating fire halls, local chambers of commerce, and Saskatchewan Health Authority testing and assessment centres.

Regina fire stations aren’t participating; they’ve been closed to the public during the pandemic and will remain closed until further notice.

The government is to provide a list of pickup locations as the kits are delivered. That list can be found here.
