COVID-19 Testing for International Travel Purposes
3-3-2021
Please note that Windsor Regional Hospital will no longer provide COVID-19 testing for the purposes of international travel at its two COVID-19 Assessment Centres effective March 8th.
WRH had continued to test for this purpose in the absence of a private testing option in our region. However, there are now three local options offering COVID-19 testing for international travel:

The Ontario government, in consultation with the Chief Medical Officer of Health and other health experts, updated the province's testing guidelines for outbound international travellers on December 11, 2020, when it announced that individuals requesting a COVID-19 test for international travel clearance were no longer eligible for a publicly funded COVID-19 test in Ontario. Details on the government release can be found here: Ontario Updates Testing Guidelines for Outbound International Travellers.
As noted previously, WRH continued to provide such testing until private options were available in our community.
As a reminder, for details on whether you qualify for a COVID-19 test at the Met or Ouellette Campus, please visit the WRH Assessment Centres online.
