AHS has developed a simple online assessment tool to help you decide whether you need to call 811 to be tested for COVID-19. It'll guide you to answer questions... about your symptoms & take you through steps to help determine whether you need testing. http://ahs.ca/covid The tool will direct you to call 811 if COVID-19 testing is required. It will also provide reassurance to those who don’t require further testing and will reduce call volumes to Health Link at 811 for those whose symptoms are not serious at this time.

Effective immediately our Centre is closed as mandated by the Government of Alberta. Please stay safe.

AHS has launched a self-assessment tool to help Albertans determine what steps to take if they are experiencing symptoms. Check it out here: https://myhealth.alberta.ca//Pa/COVID-Self-Assessment.aspx

Health Link 811 continues to experience very high volume due to individuals seeking advice on COVID-19. We are training additional clinical staff and they are c...ontinuing to come on board to provide dedicated additional COVID support. Thank you for your patience. You can help the call volumes by considering visiting http://alberta.ca/covid19 for info, if you do not need a health assessment. For health concerns unrelated to COVID-19, consider visiting http://ahs.ca/options to find out where to get the right care for your health needs. Do not call 911 except for in the case of an emergency (where life, safety, or property is in immediate danger or there is a crime in progress). If you are awaiting to be tested, do not call Health Link. Please be assured: you will be contacted to arrange for testing. In the meantime, please follow self-isolation procedures to reduce the risk of transmission. If you are awaiting COVID test results, please do not call Health Link, which does not have access to test results. If you have been tested for COVID, remain in self-isolation until you are called directly with your test results.
