The Northern Health Region has set up a testing site in Thompson in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The testing site is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Thompson Clinic in the Plaza Mall.
The testing site is for patients with a referral only, and anyone with cold or flu-like symptoms are urged to contact Health Links at 1-888-315-9257 for a referral.
This is the first testing site in Manitoba located outside of Winnipeg, which so far has seven cases of COVID-19.
The NRHA says The Pas and Flin Flon will also have testing sites available in their communities, hopefully in the next day or so.
