With the growing amount of potential public exposures to COVID-19 and the arrival of cold and flu season, you may find yourself experiencing symptoms that require COVID-19 testing.
Don’t let lack of transportation be a barrier to getting tested. If you rely on public transportation or a friend for drives, you can avoid exposing others by asking Nova Scotia Health for a drive to your COVID-19 test.
