The BCCDC is "winding down" their RAT (rapid antigen test) distribution program, citing the "decline" of COVID-19.
Eliminating this distribution program, of course, goes to manufacture that reality because of the burden it would put on residents to purchase RATs.
Eliminating this distribution program, of course, goes to manufacture that reality because of the burden it would put on residents to purchase RATs.
!["RAT kit distribution program winds down
[...] The last day to order RAT kits that are eligible for the PharmaCare distribution fee is May 31, 2025.
Pharmacies have until June 30, 2025 to submit claims for the distribution fee for RAT kits that are:
• ordered by May 31, 2025, and
• opened for public distribution prior to June 30, 2025.
Distributors will continue to supply tests at no cost to pharmacies while program supplies last, though pharmacies cannot claim the distribution fee on tests ordered after May 31. All provincially supplied tests must be provided to patients free of charge. Pharmacies wishing to provide RAT kits after the provincial distribution program ends can do so through a private-pay model. [...]
The [BCCDC] currently recommends COVID-19 testing only for symptomatic people [...] People who do not meet the criteria should monitor their symptoms and limit their activities to avoid spreading any infection, as they did before RAT kits were readily available.
Pharmacists are encouraged to remind people that:
• Provincially supplied kits do not expire until May or June 2026
• Test kits are not needed as they once were because COVID-19 is in decline
• [Demand for RATs is] on a steep decline
• Kits will be available for private purchase at many pharmacies in the future"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dy4l7kqcar73iaezbjxzwiui/bafkreibz6jzzfjawt3ede7ko4evthd24epjzu5s7w7isgonql4dgzv7bum@jpeg)
