*NEW: Adjusted hours at multiple testing sites
Ottawa’s COVID-19 testing strategy has always included the ongoing evaluation of the community’s needs. In March and April, a number of assessment centres extended their weekend hours and multiple temporary sites opened to accommodate a surge in COVID-19 cases across the city. After careful consideration with key partners and a review of current demand, some assessment centres will modify their hours starting Saturday, May 1.
The full list of assessment centres with new hours is included below.
*NEW: COVID-19 CHEO Assessment Centre and Kids Come First Care Clinic at Brewer Park Arena
• Monday to Friday, 10:00 am to 6:00 pm
• Saturday and Sunday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm
• These hours come into effect on Saturday, May 1
*NEW: COVID-19 Assessment Centre for Adults at Brewer Park Arena
• Monday to Friday, 10:00 am to 6:00 pm
• Saturday and Sunday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm
• These hours come into effect on Saturday, May 1
Southwest Ottawa COVID-19 Assessment Centre (Located in Richmond)
• Sunday, Monday, and Thursday, 8:00 am to 12:00 pm
COVID-19 Care and Testing Centre – Moodie
• Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 3:30 pm
• Saturday, 8:00 am to 11:30 am (testing only, full care clinic not available on weekends)
• Closed on Sundays
COVID-19 Care and Testing Centre – Ray Friel
• Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm
• Saturday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm (testing only, full care clinic not available on weekends)
• Closed on Sundays
These changes will not impact Ottawa residents’ access to COVID-19 testing and same-day appointments are frequently available across the city. Sites will also have the capacity to ramp up and adjust hours accordingly, if testing demand begins to increase again.

Be Social WISE
Continue to follow Ottawa Public Health guidelines, wearing a mask in indoor public spaces, wash hands frequently, socially distance 2 meters apart and stay home if you are not feeling well.
OPH recommends limiting gatherings as much as possible. In other words, limit gatherings to those who live in your household or those providing support services, such as a caregiver. If you live alone (single parent, student, etc.), one or two contacts outside your home can be important social supports to draw on.
This week at Queen’s Park.
