Provide FREE COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Tests to every household in the Northwest Territories

The Issue

Sign this petition to urge Premier Cochrane to provide free COVID-19 rapid antigen tests to every household in the Northwest Territories. The Omicron variant is here now, and COVID-19 cases are rising by the day. Research shows that rapid antigen tests are instrumental in preventing asymptomatic spread of COVID-19 as they provide quick and reliable results. This is why they need to be made available to every NWT resident. The pandemic is lingering because of a lack of equitable public health measures. While the cost of rapid antigen tests can be financially prohibitive, families in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Saskatchewan are entitled to free rapid tests. Many nurses, doctors, personal support workers, teachers, members of the public and science experts are calling for free COVID-19 rapid antigen tests for NWT residents. Time for Premier Cochrane to listen and follow the science! 

Sign today to demand action. 

Thank you.
