You are not required to take a PCR test in Canada. If you have symptoms or are testing as a precaution, rapid antigen and/or self-tests are valid.
PCR tests are available for priority persons – those at higher risk of severe illness. This protects the most vulnerable and helps keep critical services running.
Clinical assessment centres can test, assess and provide treatment options for COVID-19. You should visit one if you have symptoms and:
Are at higher risk for COVID-19 and need to get tested and assessed for treatment (including antiviral treatment)
Have been directed to do so by your primary care provider
You do not need to have a positive test result to visit a centre. Bring a list of your medications and a list of any important medical conditions with you.
If you develop severe symptoms requiring medical attention, such as shortness of breath or chest pain, call 911 or go to a hospital emergency department.
