Getting Your Results

There are three ways to get your results:

  1. Access results online using MyChart™. MyChart™ is a free, secure online tool providing patients access to medical records and personal health information. If you do not have a MyChart™ account, you can register for one online.
  2. Contact your family physician.
  3. Visit covid-19.ontario.ca and select “Check your lab results”

Individuals who test positive for COVID will be contacted by Halton Region Public Health.

Red and White Health Cards, Expired Health Cards & Out of Province 

Individuals who are not able to look up their results online can call 905-632-3737 ext. 6550 after five (5) days to see if their results are available.

All other individuals are asked to continue checking the provincial website.

Result wait-times

Tests completed at our clinic or drive-thru are sent to a provincial laboratory for processing. The time you wait for your result is beyond our control.
