The COVID-19 Assessment Centre is set up to assess returning travellers, as well as community residents, who are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, including fever, cough, or difficulty breathing.

Located at HDH, the COVID-19 Assessment Centre will operate 7 days a week between the hours of 1:00 to 8:00 p.m. Patients will enter HDH by a separate, well-marked entrance directly across from the Chown Memorial Parking Garage. Large signage will direct people to the correct door, which is just west of the main entrance.
