Why it's so difficult to get tested for COVID-19 in Canada? One major problem is a shortage of laboratory supplies. For days, doctors in hospitals across Canada have watched anxiously as they run low on supplies of nasal swabs needed to test patients.

A key to slowing the pandemic is widespread testing. Yet, some Canadians are learning they might never know if they had COVID-19. A testing backlog caused by supply shortages is forcing some provinces to prioritize who gets tested.
