Day one saw 165 swabs on Thursday with an additional 168 swabs done on Friday.
CKHA President and CEO Lori Marshall says the CKHA’s COVID-19 Assessment Centre typically sees approximately 60-65 tests per day.
The clinic runs from 9AM to 5PM on Saturday in the parking lot of the Sydenham Campus.
The drive-thru clinic is a partnership between the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance (CKHA), Chatham-Kent EMS and CK Public Health.
You do NOT need a vehicle to be tested.
Wallaceburg’s COVID-19 mobile drive-thru testing clinic will operate as follows:
– The clinic will take place in the front parking lot of CKHA’s Wallaceburg Site located at 325 Margaret Avenue. To streamline traffic flow, patients are asked to enter the drive-thru testing clinic off of Thomas Avenue. Signage will direct patients upon arrival for both those who arrive in vehicles and those who do not.
– A staff member will register you while you are in your car. Please bring a valid Ontario health card.
– The health care team will perform the COVID-19 swab test while you are in your car; please remain in your car after you register to receive a test.
– If a high demand for testing is experienced during this week’s clinics, additional testing days will take place. The public will be notified of any future COVID-19 testing clinics.
