Hello all,

In addition to the Alberta Innovates presentation, we are also excited to host Mark van Engelen from CGI who will be presenting on COVID 19 International Boarder Pilot Project. Details of his presentation are below:

A rapid-testing option that could shorten quarantines for international travelers from two weeks to two days is being piloted in Alberta. COVID-19 testing is now being offered at the Coutts land border crossing and Calgary International Airport under a joint pilot project between the province and the federal government – the first in Canada. Travelers can volunteer to get a COVID-19 test when they come into the country and receive results as quickly as 48 hours. If the test comes back negative, they would be allowed to leave quarantine if they agree to get a second test at a participating community pharmacy six or seven days after arriving.
