Drive-thru COVID-19 testing coming to Prince Albert

Nov 30, 2020 | 1:13 PM

A new drive-thru COVID-19 testing site opens Wednesday in Prince Albert.

According to a media release from the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) the new site is being opened in response to increased demand.

It will be located at The Cone Shop Car Wash at 890 Sixth Ave. E. and will operate seven days a week from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Referrals are not required. Those seeking testing must have their health cards with them and anyone under the age of 16 should be accompanied by an adult.

“As first-come, first served sites, the public should expect some wait times at the drive-thru, due to possible demand for services and the protocols that need to be followed to ensure safety for everyone,” the SHA said in the release.
