No COVID-19 rapid tests at Ottawa LCBOs Friday morning
CTV
Ottawa residents who lined up at LCBO stores hoping to get free rapid tests on Friday morning found that none were available.
The LCBO said on its website Thursday that free rapid take-home kits would be available "beginning Friday, December 17th" at 100 locations across the province, including seven in Ottawa.
However, when people arrived at the stores for their 9 a.m. openings, there were no tests to be found at any of the seven locations.
Hundreds of people lined up at the stores hoping to nab the free tests, which have become a hot commodity ahead of the holiday season with the surging Omicron variant of COVID-19.
Store employees told people in line at several of the locations they did know when the tests would be arriving.
