COVID-19 self-testing kits are not available for pickup at Saskatoon Fire Halls
October 18, 2021 - 3:48am
The Government of Saskatchewan recently announced that COVID-19 ‘at home’ self-testing kits would be distributed to the general public this week and available for pickup at participating fire halls, local chambers of commerce, and SHA testing and assessment centres.
The Saskatoon Fire Department Fire Halls are not a participating pickup location. For safety reasons, Saskatoon’s Fire Halls have not been open to the public since the onset of the pandemic in March 2020. The public is asked to not go to or call a Fire Hall seeking testing kits.
A list of participating pickup locations will soon be available at Saskatchewan.ca/covid-19. The Government of Saskatchewan has indicated this list will be updated as kits are delivered and available, and as new sites participate.
For the latest updates, visit saskatoon.ca/covid-19.
