What if I'm feeling unwell?
If you are experiencing a fever and/or cough, the Middlesex-London Health Unit recommends you first use the Ontario Ministry of Health’s online self-assessment tool to understand symptoms. If you are still concerned, call 811 or Telehealth at 1-866-797-0000 for further assessment and direction on next steps.
Anyone with severe respiratory illness, or a medical emergency should go to the hospital.
If you are not able to assess your symptoms, consider visiting one of London’s COVID-19 Assessment Centres;
1) Oakridge Arena, 825 Valetta Street – open Monday - Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM or
2) Carling Heights Optimist Community Centre, 656 Elizabeth St. – open seven days a week from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM
It is important to note that there will be no testing, medication or treatment onsite. The Assessment Centres are intended to educate and provide further medical guidance as well as to triage individuals and determine the next steps in their care.

Together we can all do our part to help prevent the spread of this virus and keep our community safe.
