COVID-19 testing site moves to Wyoming Monday

December 10, 2020

The COVID-19 testing site is on the move.

The Central Lambton Family Health Team officials say the testing centre is moving to the new Plympton-Wyoming Wellness Centre Monday.

The move has been in the works for some time but had to wait until the new health centre was complete.

North Lambton Community Health Centre Executive Director, Kathy Bresett says “It is important to ensure access to COVID-19 testing in rural locations in Sarnia Lambton to benefit the residents by providing testing closer to home. Our team looks forward to continuing working together with the Central Lambton Family Health Team and the municipality of Plympton-Wyoming.”

While the testing site is moving, people in need of a COVID-19 test still need to book it online. The Petrolia North Enniskillen Fire Department’s SORT Trailer will continue to be used in Wyoming.
