In the general population you don't get tested if you don't have symptoms (or another reason to test, like close contact).

I would hope if it is Omicron, we'd know that. In Alberta they are testing everyone for it who gets tested. I'd assume the NHL tests capture it. There are 50 cases in Alberta, and they haven't mentioned they were Omicron. I mean, maybe it is, but at this point the assumption from what we know is that it isn't Omicron.
