Mobile COVID-19 testing available in Prince Albert

Sep 23, 2020 | 9:55 AM

The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) began a series of mobile COVID-19 testing in Prince Albert on Tuesday, and residents appeared to be taking advantage of the opportunity.

On Tuesday afternoon several vehicles were seen in the line-up as the SHA held their first of four such mobile offering at the Bernice Sayese Centre parking lot.

There will be further opportunities for mobile testing on Sept. 30 at the Safeway parking lot, Oct. 7 at Leon’s Furniture at the east side of the building, and on Oct. 15 with the location yet to be announced. All will be held from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

According to an email statement from the SHA, these are among a series of mobile testing locations that have been offered in the area since July to provide additional access.

The testing sites are available to anyone and no symptoms are required to receive a test. Mobile testing is not appointment based although you need to show up with your health card. Drive-thru and walk-ups are allowed.
