Antigen tests are available for free in Switzerland to anyone with a health card, at many many test centers everywhere, and the results take 15min including a pdf certificate. I, for one, am pleased that Canada is getting rid of the onerous PCR requirement. The antigen tests which I already need to do for travel to the US are a very minor headache.
