What to do if you have cold, flu and COVID-19 symptoms

If your symptoms are severe and potentially life-threatening (e.g. shortness of breath or chest pain), please call 9-1-1 immediately or go to your nearest hospital emergency department.

If your symptoms are not life-threatening, take the Ontario Government’s COVID-19 Self-Assessment for recommendations on what to do next. Recommended next steps may include self-isolating or, if you are at higher risk of severe illness, seeking COVID-19 testing and treatment like the Paxlovid pill.

Where to get care for cold, flu and COVID-19 symptoms

If you have an urgent but non-life threatening health issue, such as mild cold, flu and COVID-19 symptoms, we encourage you to contact your family doctor, nurse practitioner or other primary care provider. Where possible and appropriate, we also encourage you to visit after-hours clinics and walk-in clinics Scarborough.
