COVID-19 testing available for everyone

Peace and Mackenzie region residents can now get tested for COVID-19.

Last week, Chief Medical Officer of Health, Doctor Deena Hinshaw announced that testing would be expanded for all Albertans, whether they are symptomatic or not.

You can book your test online, or by calling AHS at 811.

The test is conducted by a throat swab and will tell you whether you have COVID-19 at the time of the swab, whether you are showing symptoms or not.

The health agency also wants to mention that a test will not indicate if you had the virus at another point in time, or you are immune to the illness.

AHS states results will be delivered via phone within a few days of the swab.
