Northern Health moves Prince Rupert COVID-19 testing collection centre to Ocean Centre

As of Monday, the Northern Health Offices at
the Ocean Centre will be the new location for
COVID-19 testing in Prince Rupert

Patients in Prince Rupert who have been advised to go for a COVID-19 test will be directed to a new location as of Monday, with Northern Health today announcing that the new collection centre will be set up in the Ocean Centre Mall.

The new testing location is part of the Prince Rupert Health Unit at the downtown location and will provide appointment based testing Monday through Fridays.

The protocol for those tests was outlined in today's announcement:

Individuals referred for testing will be booked at this new location starting Sunday January 10, 2021. Individuals with an appointment for a COVID-19 test are advised to wait outside the testing centre (in their vehicle, for example) and await a call to come inside when it is their turn for testing.

Should you develop symptoms of COVID-19, you are asked to self isolate and contact your primary health provider or the Northern Health Virtual Clinic and Info line at 1-844-645-7811.
