COVID-19 Update

With Info from REACH Community Health Centre

While community transmission is on the decline, it is important to remember that there are still many unknowns about the COVID-19 coronavirus, and there is uncertainty regarding whether a person can contract the virus more than once. It is important that everyone continue taking safety precautions and persist in following the guidance of health authorities until we are explicitly informed that we are in the clear.

While COVID-19 testing is important for those that are ill or have been in contact with confirmed cases of COVID-19, testing too early can yield a false-negative. Even with symptoms, it may take up to two days for the virus to be detectable.

Those experiencing mild symptoms (cough, fever, difficulty breathing) should self-isolate for 14 days. If symptoms become more severe (i.e. shortness of breath, and other respiratory issues), please call the REACH Urgent and Primary Care Centre (UPCC) direct-line at 604-216-3138 before coming into the clinic, and they will give you further direction.

Call 9-1-1- if you require immediate medical treatment.
