Please be advised that rapid antigen test (RAT) kits for COVID-19 are no longer available for public distribution at the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit, and they will not be restocked in the future.
Eligible Ontarians may still access COVID-19 testing. If you develop COVID-19 symptoms, contact your primary care provider or local pharmacy to find out if you are eligible for a publicly funded test. Further information can be found on the Government of Ontario’s COVID-19 testing and treatment webpage.
We encourage community members to continue to protect themselves and others during the respiratory illness season. This includes staying up to date on your immunizations and staying home if you are feeling sick or unwell.
