Public COVID-19 PCR Testing | Markland Wood Pharmacy

Public COVID-19 PCR Testing

No cost for individuals who meet the criteria set by the Province.

This is a publicly funded service and you must qualify in a specific group. If you do not qualify, you may consider taking a personally funded PCR or Rapid test but check our calendar as these are in short supply.

FAQ

You are not eligible for free PCR testing if you are seeking testing:

• As part of a vaccine policy or mandate.

• To satisfy a travel requirement, unless you are a temporary foreign worker returning to your country of origin or are travelling into and out of remote/isolated First Nation and Indigenous communities for work purposes.

• For entry to a private venue, event or gathering which requires a negative test result to enter.

How do I get a test?

You can request an appointment online through our COVID-19 Public PCR Test appointment webpage. Patients must complete the online screening request form to request a COVID-19 appointment. When you make an appointment, you will be asked to drive up to our back door at your scheduled time and not earlier and will be directed how to complete your test. You will be required to wear a mask at all times during your pick-up and drop-off of your test. Additional information on your appointment will be communicated by the pharmacy at time of booking.

How do I get my results?

How long does it take to get results?

Tests will be processed at a lab selected by the Ministry of Health. The turnaround time typically ranges from 24-72 hours for the results to be uploaded by the lab and shared with the Pharmacy, but this is dependent on the volume of tests being processed.
