Assessment Centres

Testing is available at the Assessment Centres for the following groups:

• If you are showing COVID-19 symptoms;
• If you have been exposed to a confirmed case of the virus, as informed by their public health unit or exposure notification through the COVID-19 app;
• If you are a resident or worker in a setting that has a COVID-19 outbreak, as identified and informed by their local public health unit; or
• If you are eligible for testing as part of a targeted testing initiative directed by the Ministry of Health or the Ministry of Long-Term Care (i.e. before a surgical procedure, visiting long-term care).

We do not do COVID-19 testing for travel purposes.  Testing for travel purposes can be found by searching online for “Ontario COVID-19 testing for travel”, and includes options such as Shoppers Drug Mart, or Life Labs, amongst other options.   Testing for travel is not covered by OHIP and the location completing the test will inform you of the cost.

A self assessment tool is available for your reference here: https://www.ontario.ca/page/2019-novel-coronavirus

If you are very ill, go to the nearest Emergency Department or call 911.

How does the Assessment Centre work?

Testing and assessment is by appointment only.  Appointments can be booked online here, or by calling (226) 257-1500.  Due to high call volumes, it is strongly recommended that you book online unless you do not have internet access.

When arriving at the Assessment Centre, follow the signage to the designated parking area.  Please do not enter the Assessment Centre earlier than five minutes ahead of your appointment time to ensure proper physical distancing between patients.

Only necessary people should enter at the appointment time (i.e. the person the appointment is for, parent of child, necessary support person).

We appreciate your patience as staff work as quickly as possible to ensure patients are seen at their scheduled time.
