The province is targeting Haligonians between the ages of 18 and 35 -- a demographic which has seen a recent spike in COVID-19 cases according to health officials.

Interior Health says the dedicated coronavirus testing centres will allow Urgent and Primary Care Centres to focus on primary care services.

Kingston opened its new COVID-19 assessment centre on Saturday morning.

The centre opened Tuesday, Aug. 4, and is Kelowna’s second testing site, with the first being the urgent and primary care centre on Harvey Avenue.

The Saanich Police Department has arrested a man for making threats against COVID-19 testing facilities.

As the site for Montreal's latest testing clinic for the new coronavirus begins to take shape behind the Cavendish mall in Côte Saint-Luc, so, too, are concerns from nearby residents.

Jean Daigle, Community Vice-President for Horizon Health Network, says the move was made to provide a more central location.

The purpose of the centre is to provide education and medical guidance about the virus as well as triage individuals and determine the next steps of their care.
