Helping clear the backlog: ER doctor sets up volunteer COVID-19 test site in New Brunswick

As cases continue to climb in New Brunswick, so do the wait times for those wanting to be tested for COVID-19.

In an attempt to help with the backlog an ER doctor and her team of nurses are volunteering their time with a drive-thru testing site in Dieppe.

The testing site is organized by Dr. Isabelle-Anne Girouard.

She works at the George L. Dumont hospital in Moncton and is in charge of recruiting doctors to help at the Moncton Coliseum, the city's main testing site.

" knew that we had a backflow, so we were backlogged and the demand was getting too high for what we were ready for," said Girouard.
