The temporary testing site will be set up at the Baawaating Family Health Team office trailer located beside the Batchewana Health and Social Services Building.
Testing will be done by appointment only and must be made at least 48 hours in advance by calling 249-525-8036 between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m.
