If you are experiencing symptoms, DO NOT drop into your doctor’s office or the hospital emergency department unannounced!
Use the online Self-Assessment Tool to determine whether you need further testing or medical assistance.

The exception is health-care workers with COVID-19 infection who have recovered and require a negative test prior to returning to work.
Testing
Testing will occur by appointment for people who have been referred by their primary care provider or an 8-1-1 nurse.
