COVID, Cold & Flu Care Clinics are now closed:
Ontario’s COVID, Cold and Flu Care Clinics played a pivotal role in Ontario’s pandemic response by providing COVID-19 testing to people across the province. In addition, Ontario’s clinical assessment centres (CACs) ramped up quickly to provide assessments and treatment for COVID-19 to people across the province. These efforts were a significant part of our COVID-19 response, and we extend our thanks to the health care providers, administrators, and staff who supported this work.
With the lower rates of COVID-19 and current testing guidance, pharmacies are well positioned to support the publicly funded PCR testing demand. In addition, rapid antigen tests continue to be available at no cost through more than 3,000 retailers across the province.
As a result, Ontario is winding down most CCFCCs by June 30, 2023. A small number of sites in communities where access to testing is otherwise limited will maintain operations. These sites will be listed on the COVID-19 testing locations website:
