Ottawa fitness officials also introduced a new coronavirus control in driving in the RCGT Park car park on Friday.
Tests can be conducted on the Coventry Road online page through an appointment with reservations only through the OPH online page.
My thanks to @ottawafitness @OttawaHospital and our regional fitness partners for their paintings at the opening of the first COVID-19 the wheel control center in Ottawa.
This is a step in expanding our testing strategy.
