Some Albertans will soon need a referral from doctor for PCR testing, province says COVID19AB
Starting next week, Albertans who need a PCR test to inform their medical treatment must have a referral from a health-care professional.
Physicians will also be required to request lab tests on their patients’ behalf while using the Alberta Health Services online appointment booking system. Health Minister Jason Copping says in a statement that the changes would allow the province to direct its testing capacity toward those who are most at risk and allow health-care workers who were deployed to assessment centres during the pandemic to return to their regular roles.
