Testing Guidelines Have Changed for COVID-19

Tuesday, 26 May 2020 16:58

You can now get tested for COVID-19 in Woodstock if you have mild symptoms, if you are at risk of exposure through work or if you have had any contact with someone with the virus.

WOODSTOCK - Testing guidelines have changed for COVID-19.

This means more people can get tested at the assessment centre located beside the Woodstock Hospital. Under the new guidelines, the following people may be tested:

- People with at least one symptom of COVID-19, even mild symptoms.

- People who are concerned that they have been exposed to COVID-19. This includes people who are contacts of or may have been exposed to a confirmed or suspected case.

- People who are at risk of exposure to COVID-19 through their employment, including essential workers (e.g., health care workers, grocery store employees, food processing plants).

In order to maintain efficiency and social distancing, an appointment is still required to access Woodstock Hospital’s COVID-19 Assessment Centre (trailer on hospital grounds).

To book an appointment at the assessment centre please call 1-855-905-6148.

Hours of Operation:

10:00 am - 8:00 pm, 7 days/week

For your appointment at the assessment centre:

- Please bring your Ontario health card or another form of identification.
- Use the Juliana Drive entrance and park in the visitor parking lot. There are signs directing you to designated parking spots for the COVID-19 Assessment Centre.
- Once parked, please stay in your vehicle. You will be contacted when it is your time to enter the assessment centre.
