COVID-19 testing now available to anyone in AHS South Zone

All southern Albertans are now eligible for COVID-19 testing, whether you have symptoms or not.

A total of 12 Alberta Health Services assessment centres around the South Zone are now offering testing by appointment and free of charge as well.

Appointments can be booked on the AHS website or by calling 811.

AHS says the throat swab will determine if you had COVID-19 at the time the test was taken, but it will not tell you if you’ve had the virus in the past, or if you have an immunity to it.

Albertans will receive their test results over the phone within a few days of being tested.

AHS notes that this expanded testing will provide a clearer picture of how well the province’s health measures are working and also guide the progress of Alberta’s relaunch.

I started my radio career in 2015, shortly after graduating from Lethbridge College. I have a very strong passion for local news. Proudly born in 1994, I grew up most of my life in Sylvan Lake, AB and I've lived in the Lethbridge since 2012. I'm a below average golfer on a good day, I take as many hiking trips to Waterton as possible in the summer and I love my two cats, Outlaw and Jynx, and my dog, Maverick, more than most people I know. I look forward to providing accurate, timely news coverage in southern Alberta for plenty of years to come!
