Before You Arrive

Testing for asymptomatic contacts of cases is generally no longer recommended, except for high-risk contacts/individuals that are part of confirmed or suspected outbreaks in high risk settings.

Positive rapid antigen tests will no longer require PCR confirmation.

What to Expect When You Arrive

At the testing centre, a healthcare professional will ask you some demographic questions as part of the registration process including your first and last name, and date of birth, as well as some screening question to determine your eligibility. Then, a nasal swab will be performed to collect sample for testing at a lab.
