———–
Windsor area residents will no longer have to travel far to pick up a rapid test kit. Hants Community Hospital will act as a distribution point for those who qualify for rapid testing.
Residents will still need to complete the online assessment and book an appointment, but rather than travelling to one of the larger testing centres, they will be able to pick up rapid tests at sites closer to their community.
For those who are eligible, rapid tests will be now be available at the following location (appointment required):
Hants Community Hospital – main entrance (89 Payzant Dr., Windsor)
Monday to Friday 2 p.m. to 5:45 p.m.
Saturday and Sunday 10:30 a.m. to 5:45 p.m.
This site will now be an option when booking an appointment online to pick up a rapid test,
Due to the surge in COVID-19 cases in our province, Nova Scotia’s testing program has changed to make sure people who are eligible get the type of test they need, when they need it.
Testing is reserved for those with symptoms and/or close contacts of a COVID-19 case. You can determine if you need a PCR test or a rapid take-home test, by completing the online assessment at https://covid-self-assessment.novascotia.ca/en
