It is therefore no longer necessary to go to a screening clinic to confirm the infection with COVID-19.
Anyone with a positive rapid test must self-isolate immediately and for a period of 10 days, the CISSS Chaudière-Appalaches reported on its Facebook page.
Remember that the delays in obtaining an appointment at a screening clinic during the last week could stretch up to 5 days in the region.
