When it comes to re-opening economies and schools in the face of this pandemic, the key is testing, testing and testing.
With more than 80 percent of COVID cases in Ontario and Quebec, both provinces are having difficulty hitting their targets.

While Ontario scrambles to boost it’s testing numbers, a University of Guelph professor is talking to the province about boosting those numbers by 50 thousand. Rapid and aggressive is crucial.
