Grey Bruce Health Services reducing COVID-19 assessment centre hours

Grey Bruce Health Services says they will be reducing hours at their COVID-19 assessment centres.

Effective Monday, June 7th, hours at all the GBHS COVID-19 assessment centres will shrink. GBHS is currently operating COVID assessment centres at the Owen Sound, Lion's Head and Southampton hospitals. The official release states that "the number of individuals seeking a COVID-19 test in Grey and Bruce region has been dropping over the past few weeks thanks to fewer local cases of the virus, and higher vaccination rates."

The revised hours and the links for booking appointments online are below. Appointments can also be booked via phone at 519-378-1466. GBHS says the hours may be further reduced later this summer.
