Oxford County Paramedic Services has introduced a new program aimed at supporting those experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, but may not have the ability to access an assessment centre.

They have launched a community-based assessment and testing program for the novel coronavirus, which will see trained paramedics test individuals in the community by going to where they are, instead of having them visit an assessment centre.

According to a statement released by Oxford County Friday, residents can access the program by referral after an initial assessment by a primary health-care provider, Southwestern Public Health or the Woodstock Hospital COVID-19 Assessment Centre after first completing a self-assessment online.
