The Selkirk Medical Group posted on Facebook information on a new COVID-19 testing and assessment site in Revelstoke.
The post said Queen Victoria Hospital and Interior Health have been working hard on getting a testing site all week.
The site is located at the Queen Victoria Hospital, at a side area that avoids entry into the main hospital and ER.

According the Selkirk Medical Group post on Facebook, people should still use the BC Self-Assessment Tool as a personal decision guide. The Revelstoke assessment phone number can be called instead of 811.
The Revelstoke assessment phone number will be staffed 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. for Monday to Friday and 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for Saturday to Sunday.
The Selkirk Medical Group said to use the BC Self-Assessment Tool if you have:
1. new cough/cold/fever symptoms, even mild.
2. travel outside of Canada in the past 14 days
3. known contact with a proven or probable C-19 case
