The province is introducing an appointment-based option for getting COVID-19 tests at several locations in Prairie Mountain Health.
Starting Monday, October 26, the option to book an appointment for a COVID test will begin for the sites in Dauphin, Swan River, and Brandon (Keystone Centre Site).
People can call 1-855-268-4318 (toll-free) or go online to make appointments to get a COVID-19 test at this link.
Those who attend the testing site without an appointment will not be turned away, but going forward the province is transitioning to an appointment-based system.
People are asked to arrive about 10 minutes early for their appointment to allow time to check-in and to bring their health card or government-issued identification.
Appointments are not required at drive-thru locations.
At this time, only people with symptoms are being advised to get tested for COVID-19. Appointments are expected to take about five minutes for adults and about 10 minutes for children.
