Citizen Care Pod Deployed at Vancouver International Airport
The Citizen Care Pod (CCP) has been deployed as part of a pilot project to target asymptomatic COVID-19 carriers through a partnership by UBC, Providence Healthcare, WestJet, and Vancouver Airport Authority.
The CCP will provide a safe, sanitary, and secure location for healthcare professionals to administer rapid antigen tests to travellers, allowing them to study the safest and most efficient ways to test airline passengers for COVID-19. To date, this study is the first of its kind.
