New COVID-19 Testing Centre on Hamilton Mountain set to open Friday
Doors will open tomorrow morning at the new St. Joseph's Mountain COVID-19 Testing Centre at Mohawk College. The self-contained building on the grounds of the College's Fennell Campus has been fully outfitted with the necessary equipment to safely provide nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) tests to the public. The new testing location will be staffed by St. Joseph's and will operate seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The opening of the new location marks the closure at the end of today, of the temporary testing centre at St. Joe's West 5th Campus.
In keeping with Ontario Government guidelines, appointments must be made in advance for all testing sites. No walk-ins will be permitted at any Hamilton COVID-19 testing facility.
