COVID-19 Self Assessment

If you think you have COVID-19 symptoms or have been in close contact with someone who has it, use this self-assessment tool from the Province of Ontario to help determine how to seek further care.

We are all in this together, and the best advice we have to combat this virus is from our public health agencies. We recommend following all of the guidelines set out by public health in terms of hygiene and social distancing.
