9. Test results must be communicated confidentially to each individual by the trained test
administrator or a designated individual, such as a manager or person responsible for overseeing
the rapid testing program. Messaging delivered to individuals must include the following
information:
Your Rapid Test for COVID-19 was positive. These results are considered preliminary and
require further confirmatory testing through a public health lab. Please arrange for a
COVID-19 test through Alberta Health Services. Appointments can be booked by calling
811. Because of this preliminary positive result, you are legally required to isolate for 10 days
or until you are tested through a public health lab receive a negative result and have not
developed any symptoms.
Your Rapid Test for COVID-19 was negative. Rapid tests are not as accurate in people
without symptoms and a negative result does NOT rule out COVID-19. You must continue
to follow all public health guidelines.
