Booked by 6 a.m.: Quebec couple, sick with COVID-19 symptoms, unable to get any kind of test
CTV
A young couple from Repentigny says they're struggling to get tested for COVID-19 because all the centres are full.
Despite having symptoms, they say they have been unable to get tested for the virus, with no rapid tests available and multiple clinic sites turning them away.
Marissa De Medeiros, 22, and her fiancé Louis Bracchi Civitillo, 22, started feeling ill on Dec. 26, one day after a small family gathering for Christmas.
"We followed the restrictions, but still ended up getting it [COVID-19]," De Medeiros told CTV News. "But it wasn't anybody in the house, it was someone who was in contact with someone else and now everyone has it."
Tuesday, De Medeiros and Bracchi Civitillo say they visited two walk-in testing centres to confirm their positive diagnoses, but were turned away.
