If you have COVID-19covid 19 symptoms
You are eligible for PCR testing if you have at least
one COVID-19covid 19 symptom and you are:
- a hospitalized patient
- a patient in an emergency department, at the discretion of the treating clinician
- a patient-facing health care worker
- a staff member, volunteer, resident, inpatient, essential care provider, or visitor in a hospital or congregate living setting (including long-term care, retirement homes, First Nation elder care lodges, group homes, shelters, hospices, temporary foreign worker settings and correctional institutions)
- an outpatient being considered for COVID-19covid 19 treatment
- underhoused or homeless
- someone who has been exposed, or a close contact of someone exposed, to a confirmed or suspected outbreak in a high risk setting, including a hospital, long-term care, retirement home, other congregate living setting or institution, or other settings as directed by the local public health unit
- an elementary or secondary student or education staff who has received a PCR self-collection kit, if available through your school
If you do not have symptoms
If you do not have symptoms, you are eligible for PCR testing if you:
- are from a First Nation, Inuit, or Métis community or are travelling into these communities for work
- are unvaccinated and being admitted or transferred to or from a hospital or congregate living setting
- are someone who has been exposed, or a close contact of someone exposed, to a confirmed or suspected outbreak in a high risk setting, including a hospital, long-term care, retirement home, other congregate living setting or institution, or other settings as directed by the local public health unit
- have written prior approval for out-of-country medical services from the General Manager of OHIP or are a caregiver for someone who does
- are in a hospital, long-term care, retirement home or other congregate living setting, as directed by public health units, provincial guidance or other directives
If you are eligible for a test,
find a testing location near you.
If you are not eligible for a test but have symptoms of COVID-19covid 19, assume that you have COVID-19covid 19 and isolate with your household for five days if you are fully vaccinated and otherwise healthy or are under 12 years old. If you are not fully vaccinated or are immunocompromised, isolate for 10 days. If you were exposed to someone with COVID-19covid 19, follow the guidance outlined
above.
Rapid antigen testing
Rapid antigen testing may be used for routine, repeated screening of people with no symptoms to identify and prevent cases of COVID-19covid 19 in hospitals, long-term care and retirement homes, and other high-risk settings as an added layer of safety. Rapid antigen testing may also be used to test people with symptoms to find out the likelihood that their symptoms are related to COVID-19covid 19.
If you or someone you live with gets a positive result on a rapid antigen test, you no longer need to book a PCR test to confirm your results. If you are fully vaccinated and otherwise healthy, or are under 12 years old, isolate for five days starting when the symptoms began or from the date of the test, whichever came first. Those who are not fully vaccinated or are immunocompromised must isolate for 10 days.
A positive result:
- is a good indication that you have COVID-19covid 19
- does not need to be confirmed by a PCR test
- does not need to be reported to a public health unit unless otherwise directed by public health
A negative result:
- on a single test cannot rule out COVID-19covid 19 infection by itself
- if you have symptoms, should be followed by a second test 24 to 48 hours later if available. If your second test taken within 48 hours of your first negative result is also negative, this most likely means you do not have COVID-19covid 19
If you feel unwell but do not have symptoms of COVID-19covid 19, you and your household should isolate until your symptoms have improved for at least 24 hours (or 48 hours if the symptoms affect the digestive system).
