What will happen if there are COVID Contacts at Hockey?
We recognize that access to PCR and/or Rapid Antigen Testing is very limited, and that Public Health is unable to provide contact tracing and guidance for everyone. If you have tested positive, have been in contact with a positive case, or are experiencing any of the COVID-19 symptoms, please refer to the Ontario Self Assessment Screening found at:
