According to health officials, the site will offer increased access to testing and will process between 500 and 700 tests per day when operating at full capacity.

“At this time, it is critically important for people living in the Fraser Health region to use the COVID-19 assessment tool and get tested as soon as you have COVID-19-like symptoms, even mild ones,” says the health authority. “Please don’t wait, and book or drop by one of our COVID-19 test collection centres.”
