Self-Assessment Tool Online:
Use the Ministry of Health’s self-assessment to help determine if you need to seek care. If you’re having difficulty breathing or experiencing other severe symptoms, call 911. Always call your health care provider before visiting.
Assessment Centre:
To rapidly expand screening and ease pressures on hospital emergency departments, a number of dedicated assessment centres have been established across Toronto.
Find out if you should visit an assessment centre and where the nearest location is.
