COVID-19 symptoms and testing

  • COVID-19 testing criteria has changed. Testing has been expanded to include ALL people with COVID-19 symptoms, and those without symptoms who are concerned they have been exposed to someone with COVID-19.
  • For additional direction you can complete the provincial COVID-19 self-assessment.
