COVID-19 Testing

Everyone’s first option should be to use a rapid antigen test.

They are quick and highly accurate, particularly if you have symptoms or if you have been in contact with someone who has COVID-19.

  • If you have symptoms or you are a contact, and you can't access a rapid antigen test, you should get a PCR test.
  • If you can't access either test at the moment, isolate at home until you can.
  • you can collect 5 rapid antigen tests (per person) from a COVID-19 testing site, you must contact the hospital prior to collecting you tests and you must complete the online registration form.
  • Rapid antigen tests are for personal use and not for resale..

If you test positive on a rapid antigen test, you are a case and you must follow your checklist and report your result.
