The Ross Memorial Hospital has opened a COVID-19 Assessment Centre off-site at the Lindsay Exhibition Grounds. The Assessment Centre can be reached at 705-328-6217. The hours of operation are Monday-Friday 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.

The Peterborough Regional Health Centre COVID-19 Assessment Centre is currently located within a dedicated area of the hospital’s Emergency Department. The Assessment Centre will be moved to a mobile unit outside of the main hospital on Monday March 23 .

Testing at COVID-19 Assessment Centres will be administered according to the Ministry of Health Guidelines based on the results of the assessment. It is important for the public to know that not everyone will be tested.

Local health service partners continue to build testing capacity locally and will provide more information as soon as it becomes available.
