A COVID-19 assessment centre is now open in St. Catharines.

Niagara Health says it's located on the main floor of the hospital and it does have it's own entrance.

It will provide screening, assessment and testing for those showing symptoms, but it's only available through referral from Public Health.

Niagara Health opened the Region's first COVID-19 assessment centre in Niagara Falls on Tuesday.

It's located behind Greater Niagara General Hospital.

We have four confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the Niagara Region.
