There’s a new online tool for those who fear they may have contracted COVID-19.
The interactive tool launched by the Ontario government asks a series of questions to help people navigate their personal situation.
"I encourage anyone who may have been exposed to COVID-19, have symptoms or may have travelled outside of Canada to first self-isolate and then take a few seconds to complete our new online assessment tool," said Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. "This easy-to-use tool, developed with guidance from Dr. Williams, Ontario's Chief Medical Officer of Health, is a great first step in that process. By answering a few questions, Ontarians will be able to make informed choices about what to do, while the province collects real-time data to enhance our ongoing response."
The tool will advise people to stay home, to contact their primary health provider, or seek immediate care.
People can also contact Telehealth Ontario at 1-866-797-0000 to be assessed over the phone.
