Another COVID-19 assessment centre to open in Vancouver

Vancouver Coastal Health is opening another COVID-19 assessment centre in preparation for a potential increase in cases as the cold and flu season approaches.

The new site is at the north parking lot of Vancouver Community College on East 7th Avenue.

It will be from 9 a-m to 7:30 p-m and will take both walk-in and drive-through clients.

The authority says an additional centre in North Vancouver is expected to open in the next couple of weeks and operating hours in Richmond and other locations will also be increasing.
