CKHA is reiterating additional reminders to the community to ensure the COVID-19 Assessment Centre can continue to operate as efficiently as possible. Please take note of the following:
– This is not a walk-in clinic, if you think you have symptoms related to COVID-19 please call your primary care provider, CK Public Health or Telehealth Ontario. They will discuss your symptoms and travel history and can advise if you should attend the assessment centre.
– If you need to come to the assessment centre, please bring your Health Card with you. This helps staff working at the assessment centre properly identify you.
– Please bring a list of medications and any other information regarding allergies and past medical issues.
– Hours of operation are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and the last patient will be seen at 4 p.m.
– If you arrive after 4 p.m., please do not present to the Emergency Department. Return home to self-isolate and come back to the assessment centre in the morning.
– CKHA’s COVID-19 Assessment Centre is located at 47 Emma Street, next to the Chatham Site. Please park in the lot adjacent to the building. Free parking is available during hours of operation.
