Earlier this week, the Kenney government announced that 500,000 rapid COVID test kits would be made available to Albertans before the holiday break.
Starting Dec 17, Albertans can get free #COVID19AB rapid antigen testing kits for at-home use to help identify infections early. Kits can be picked up at select locations on a first-come, first-served basis, limit one box per person within a 14-day period https://t.co/JYzI8XCafn pic.twitter.com/3siipCpPLq

Tests are meant to be taken every 72 hours. If used to screen before holiday gatherings, they should be used within an hour of entering the premises.
