Lambton Public Health has expanded its COVID-19 school and childcare testing.

With positive cases reported in three Sarnia-Lambton schools, local health officials are encouraging all symptomatic children to be tested.

Testing for school-aged children has been available since mid-September but that has been expanded now to include childcare-aged children as well.

Testing is available by appointment at the former SCITS high school on Wellington Street in Sarnia, and at Kimball Hall on Townsend Line in Forest Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The Petrolia testing centre at Lambton Centennial School is still for school-aged children only.
