What has followed has often been chaos, with a completely unreliable testing system. No one answers the phones for days. Testing kits are being sent for analysis without supervision. There has been no accountability.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6661362\" data-originallang=\"en\">How many cases of COVID were allowed into the country thanks to this faulty testing process by a company that was approved by the Liberal government? </p>",
