A new covered COVID-19 clinic opened at the Montague Legion on Monday.
It is a position without appointment: tests without reference on a first-come, first-served basis.
Trevor Waugh, acting director of Kings Primary Care Health Network, said it is vital to update the testing procedure, especially now that the outside has no blood.
“Our old pickup site is a driving service. And while we practice winter and cooler weather, we seek to get patients and staff out of the elements and inside,” he said.
“This clinic is located in the middle of Kings County, so it offers other people in Kings County a close option not to have to drive to Charlottetown or some other verification site. “
It is open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8 a. m. at noon.
Waugh said the clinic had cleaned up 40 other people by Monday morning, but that he can accommodate more if needed.
