Here’s the schedule for mobile COVID-19 testing in Montreal

Mobile COVID-19 testing clinics have been set up in STM buses around Montreal for the past week, and you can see the schedule for the week ahead below.

The clinics, which can each perform 200 tests per day, begin operations on the CIUSSS West Central’s territory today, Wednesday, May 13. Under the responsibility of Montreal’s Regional Public Health department, the mobile clinic is operated in partnership with the public health team and staff of the CIUSSS West Central Montreal.

This clinic is accessible without appointment.

The bus will remain in the same location for a period of three days before moving, depending on the priority areas. Testing is prioritized for people in the neighbourhood. Other Montrealers must keep going to the clinics in their sector.

All physical distancing, hygiene and protection measures will be put in place for both staff and screened persons.

Groups prioritized for testing:

• People with symptoms of COVID-19 (fever, cough, difficulty breathing)
• Asymptomatic individuals who have been in close contact with someone who has been positively diagnosed with COVID-19.
