Chatham-Kent Health Alliance (CKHA) has partnered with Chatham-Kent EMS and CK Public Health to support greater access for the residents of Wallaceburg and area to receive a COVID-19 test.  On Thursday June 11, Friday June 12, and Saturday June 13 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. anyone who believes they require a COVID-19 swab test can go to CKHA’s Wallaceburg Site where a mobile drive-thru testing clinic will be in operation.   This testing initiative will also be available to residents who do not arrive in a vehicle.

Wallaceburg’s COVID-19 mobile drive-thru testing clinic will operate as follows:

• The clinic will take place in the front parking lot of CKHA’s Wallaceburg Site located at 325 Margaret Avenue. To streamline traffic flow, patients are asked to enter the drive-thru testing site off of Thomas Avenue. Signage will direct patients upon arrival for both those who arrive in vehicles and those who do not.
• A staff member will register you while you are in your car. Please bring a valid Ontario health card.
• The health care team will perform the COVID-19 swab test while you are in your car; please remain in your car after you register to receive a test.
• If a high demand for testing is experienced during this week’s clinics, additional testing days will take place. The public will be notified of any future COVID-19 testing clinics.
• Please note, a severe heat warning is in effect for Chatham-Kent on Wednesday, June 10. With the clinic days following this inclement weather, out of precaution, please do not bring children and frail adults in cars who are not being tested, as well as pets.
