Rapid Antigen Tests No Longer Available at Provincial Health Units

Rapid antigen tests are no longer available at Provincial Public Health locations

Rapid tests are now only available to a specific group of people.

If you develop symptoms and you are eligible for a publicly-funded test, we recommend you contact your primary care provider or pharmacist to find out about test availability.

You are eligible for publicly-funded COVID-19 testing if you have COVID 19 symptoms AND belong to any of the following groups:

• people aged 65 years of age and older
• people aged 18 years of age and older who have at least one condition that puts them at higher risk of severe COVID-19 disease
• people who are immunocompromised
• residents and patients in certain high-risk settings including hospitals and congregate living settings with medically and socially vulnerable individuals (for example, in long-term care and other specific populations and settings)
• people in the context of suspected or confirmed outbreaks, as directed by the local public health unit
