Drive-thru testing

Adjusted holiday hours at COVID-19 drive-thru testing site

Dec 23, 2020 | 12:25 PM

Prince Albert’s drive-thru testing site will have modified hours over the holiday season.

The option has proven to be a popular one since it opened on Dec. 2 at The Cone Shop Car Wash on Sixth Avenue East. The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) listed the modified hours:

• December 24: 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• December 25: Closed
• December 26: Closed
• December 31: 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• January 1: Closed

The drive-thru will operate normal hours hours Dec. 27 to 30th. (8:30 am to 4 p.m.)

Drive-thru testing sites are on a first-come, first-served basis and wait times should be expected depending on the demand for services. A referral is not required to access a drive-thru test. You must wear a mask and anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. In your vehicle, everyone should be members of the same, immediate household. You need a valid Health Card or an alternate government-issued form of identification (e.g., driver’s license, passport). Every person in the vehicle who has these documents can be tested.
