O'Day discusses Trevor Harris and changes to be made to get the Riders back to the Grey Cup.
The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) is lifting the veil of privacy to show how COVID-19 tests are conducted to try to decrease stigma.
With help from SHA employees and medical professionals, they conducted a test on camera and released several photos as a step-by-step reference of what the process entails.
A healthcare worker meets patients referred to the test centres in the parking lot to provide masks and give instructions.
Patients wait inside their vehicles until a worker escorts them inside.
Once inside, patients sanitize their hands and go to a test room to review health information.
A nurse performs a nasal or throat swab then places samples in specimen containers and a sterile bag to send away for processing.
Before exiting the test room patients sanitize their hands again and ensure a face mask is on properly.
Nurses thoroughly clean rooms following tests, targeting high touch surfaces.
