Hello Madam,
I recommend that you visit this site (😊👉CoronaCheck) that was created by the Swiss authorities, but is very adequate to our "local" situation in Quebec.
If the tool recommends that you see a doctor for one of the family members, I recommend calling 1-877-644-4545. The staff on the other end of the line will direct you to the nearest screening clinic and make an appointment for you (this is why you should not go directly to the clinics).
Note that anyone who has been in close contact with someone who is recommended for screening should also be screened. By close contact, we mean that they have spent more than 4 hours in the same room as a person to be screened, or has been in direct contact (kissing, talking) with that person. In short, if one person in the family needs to be screened, everyone will be screened.
On the day of your appointment, I recommend that you get there without taking public transportation.
Have a great day!"
Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
