- Description
- Kawartha Lakes residents who had COVID-19 symptoms and needed to be tested, but didn’t have access to a vehicle, were able to obtain in-home assessments.
The Ross Memorial Hospital, in partnership with Kawartha Lakes Paramedic Services, started booking appointments for in-home assessment and testing. The hospital ran offsite assessment and testing clinic at the Lindsay Exhibition grounds.
Since March 15, 2020, the clinical team had assessed more than 800 individuals, including 305 virtual/phone assessments, and more than 500 in-person assessments. Of those, 115 individuals were swabbed for COVID-19. - Publisher
