Almost everyone working at the sites is a volunteer, including the greeters, people at the registration desk, swabbers, and those who test the swabs and text out results are all volunteers. The rapid pop-up testing, relying on the help of non-experts, is the idea of Dr. Lisa Barrett, a Dalhousie University infectious disease specialist, physician, and researcher. There are about 1,500 volunteers on the list to help just at the downtown Halifax site, and these are happening all over NS.
