The clinic is located at the Rizzardo Health and Wellness Centre and operates on Monday and Wednesday evenings, between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.

“Given the high number of COVID patients who don’t exhibit any symptoms, it’s important that people have easy access (to) swab testing.”

RVH’s COVID-19 testing centre in Barrie currently tests more than 400 people every day and continues to grow, according to Skot.

“The new clinic in Innisfil will provide important access for residents in south Simcoe County,” Skot added.
