New online appointment system ready to launch for local COVID-19 assessment centre

South Bruce Grey Health Centre will be launching a new online booking portal for one of its COVID-19 assessment centres.

Starting on Monday, October 5, appointments to visit the Kincardine COVID-19 assessment centre can be booked online by going to http://www.sbghc.on.ca and clicking "Book A COVID-19 Test" or by calling the Assessment Centre at 226-257-1500. Due to the high volumes of calls, staff are asking that you book online unless you have no internet access.

On Monday, October 5, the Kincardine assessment centre will continue operating as a drive-through model with no appointment needed, but the following day on October 6, appointments will be mandatory and the centre will no longer accept walk-ins. To accommodate the booked appointments, the drive-through will cease operating on the 6th. When you come for a booked appointment, follow the signage to the designated parking area for the COVID 19 Assessment Centre to wait until five minutes before your appointment.
