The Jewish General Hospital is implementing mandatory online bookings for appointments for its test centre as the coronavirus health crisis continues.
The CIUSSS West-Central Montreal announced Monday that walk-ins will no longer be permitted as of Aug. 31.
“Given the COVID-19 pandemic, we are confident that this convenient system will safeguard the well-being of patients, staff and visitors by ensuring social distancing protocols are respected,” the health authority said in a statement.
Patients seeking blood or other kinds of collection tests must book their appointments online using the Clic Santé platform.
