Who is currently being tested for COVID-19?
The Government of Ontario has criteria for who is eligible for publicly funded COVID-19 testing to ensure it is available for those who need it most. Before you seek testing, be sure to review the information available at www.ontario.ca/covidtest to see if you are eligible and where to get tested.
Currently, individuals that meet the following criteria can book an appointment at an assessment centre to get tested:
- Showing symptoms of COVID-19
- Been exposed to a COVID positive person or have received an exposure notification from the COVID Alert app
- Are part of an outbreak investigation as directed by public health
- Long-term care and other congregate settings
- Farm workers
- A person who identifies as Indigenous
- Surgery or other reasons (before scheduled surgery as directed by your health care provider, international students passed their 14-day quarantine period, a preliminary positive result through the rapid antigen screening pilot, in a targeted testing group as outline in guidance from the Chief Medical Officer of Health)
- A visitor or worker in a long-term care home or a worker in a retirement home
- A resident or worker in a homeless shelter or other congregate setting
Testing at select pharmacies is now also occurring. You can book an appointment at a pharmacy to get tested if you don’t have symptoms of COVID-19 and are eligible for testing as part of a targeted testing initiative as determined by the Ministry of Health or Ministry of Long-term Care or public health. This includes:
- Workers or visitors of long-term care homes, workers in retirement homes
- Residents or workers in homeless shelters or other congregate settings
- Other reasons
-
- International students that have passed their 14-day quarantine period
- Farm workers

After December 11, you will no longer be able to get a free test for international travel. Private COVID-19 tests are available throughout Ontario.
