The Ford government has changed regulations to allow pharmacists to administer tests for COVID-19.
Ford said last week the province would soon roll out pharmacy testing.
This means a pharmacist does not have to obtain a specimen collection centre licence in order to collect specimens for a COVID-19 test.
Pharmacy testing is for those who are asymptomatic.
