Canadians are fortunate to have Universal health care. In my Province of residence, and I’m sure others, we have access to our individual health records online. Every prescription, test, hospitalization and a multitude of other items are available. Further, if we become ill elsewhere within the Province, attending physicians have access to our medical records online also. What I dont know is if physicians in other Provinces can access our own Provincial health records.
In any event, as it pertains to Covid testing, Government has increasingly offered more testing. Large pharmacy chains have recently been authorized to test. My own pharmacy, a small one, as of last week has been able to test. I picked up a prescription last week, saw the announcement and tested. I was phoned this morning with the result, and then checked online.
