Residents asked to find an alternative COVID-19 testing site due to high demand

12/28/2021

Due to the increased demand for COVID-19 testing and a staffing shortage, the Kahnawà:ke COVID-19 Task Force would like to inform the community that the local testing center cannot accommodate all the requests for appointments.

If you have yet to receive a confirmation of an appointment for testing from the Kateri Memorial Hospital Centre,  Kahnawa’kehró:non are being advised to find an alternative testing site outside the community. For those who wish to be tested, there are several testing sites that are currently offering walk-in and appointment services on the Island of Montreal.

Please note, whether you choose to visit a walk-in testing center or make an appointment via Clic Sante, you may experience delays and long waiting times. Unfortunately, this is to be expected with the high number of COVID-19 cases in the province of Quebec.
