The Haliburton County COVID-19 Assessment Centre is closing its doors today. Centres across the province are closing due to dwindling demand.
Anyone in the community looking to access a COVID-19 test, assessment, or treatment can contact their pharmacy or locate the nearest pharmacy that provides COVID-19 testing. You can also contact your primary care provider, such as a family doctor or nurse
practitioner. Other options are calling 811 or visit ontario.ca/health811 for more information about testing, assessment, and treatment and consultingwww.ontario.ca/assessment-centre-locations for an open assessment centre.
Community members who think they may have COVID-19 and are seeking treatment should act quickly. Treatment needs to be started within five days of the start of symptoms.
For adults, severe symptoms include shortness of breath and chest pain. For children, severe symptoms include working hard or straining to breathe, bluish skin, loss of consciousness, confusion, very sleepy or
difficult to wake, urinating less than usual, and a fever with a rash.
The Haliburton County COVID-19 Assessment Centre Partners would like to recognize all those who supported the establishment and operation of the Centre over the past three years.
