Provide FREE COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Tests to every household in Newfoundland and Labrador

The Issue

Sign this petition to urge Premier Furey to provide free COVID-19 rapid antigen tests to every household in Newfoundland and Labrador. 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 NL 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 NL residents. Time for Premier Furey to listen and follow the science! 

Sign today to demand action. 

Thank you.
