Health officials are opening a new coronavirus test in Vancouver as the number of new cases continues to increase in the region.
The COVID-19 Assessment Center will be in the north parking lot of Vancouver Community College on 7 Avenue between Glen and Keith Drive.
The center will be open to patients without an appointment and car service and will operate on a first-come, first-served basis, Vancouver Coastal Health said Wednesday.
