On 10 jan. 2022, in Newfoundland and Labrador (NL): "As a result of testing capacity being exceeded at the provincial laboratory between December 29, 2021 - January 6, 2022 and samples being sent out of the province for testing, an additional 680 cases are being reported today arising from these results... Anyone that is a close contact of a case and has symptoms of COVID-19, should consider themselves a positive case and follow public health direction. They do not need any testing to confirm. Employers are asked not to require a PCR test for this category of individuals... Anyone testing positive on a rapid test should consider themselves a positive case and follow public health direction. They no longer need PCR testing to confirm... PCR tests are still recommended for anyone that is a close contact and does not have symptoms, and anyone that has symptoms but has not been identified as a close contact of someone that tested positive”.
