WINNIPEG – Long lineups at COVID-19 testing sites will hopefully start getting shorter now that a new drive-thru location is at full capacity.

1066-Nairn Avenue which opened earlier in the week at 200 tests a day is expected to start doing 400 today.

Another drive-thru at 125-King Edward Street East is expected to open before the end of the month.

And a drive-thru in Brandon at the Keystone Centre will start testing people on Saturday.

That will bring the total number of drive-thru test sites to nine across Manitoba, with even more testing options on the way.
