The Muskoka Covid-19 Assessment Centre testing numbers are in.
To date, Muskoka’s two Assessment Centres in Bracebridge and Huntsville have completed over 480 tests and also virtually assessed nearly 500 patients.
The numbers are specific to testing at the two centres and don’t include tests administered through the hospital, long-term care or any other institution.
The Huntsville and Bracebridge Assessment Centres have an adaptable capacity and flexibility to increase capacity in a surge situation.
To date, Algonquin Family Health Team Executive Director Janine van den Heuvel says they are meeting the requested demands for assessment and testing and do not have a wait list.
Patient access to the centres is by appointment only Monday through Friday.
The Assessment Centres are for Covid-19 testing by appointment only and are not open for walk-in visits.
If you are experiencing symptoms of Covid-19 you should first contact your Doctor or Nurse Practitioner.
If you do not have either, please call Telehealth Ontario at 1-866-797-0000 or access the Ministry of Health Self Assessment Tool.
If you have been advised to attend a COVID-19 Assessment Centre, you can book an appointment by calling the Assessment Centre Monday through Friday between 9am and 5pm at 1-888-
383-7009.
