Instead of calling 811, people can now do the self-assessment online at https://covid-self-assessment.novascotia.ca. It will reduce the wait time to be screened for testing from 12 hours to about 10 minutes.

If the assessment determines that a person requires a test, the Nova Scotia Health Authority or IWK Health Centre will call within 24 to 48 hours to book an appointment.

811 will continue to take calls from people who cannot access the online tool or who wish to speak with a nurse about their symptoms.
