Drive-through testing sites that do not require a referral will open Tuesday in Regina and Thursday in Saskatoon.
Regina’s drive-through testing will happen at Hall C of the International Trade Centre at Evraz Place. Testing will take place between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturdays.
Saskatoon’s drive-through is located at 3630 Thatcher Avenue. Testing will take place between noon and 7:15 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
A valid Saskatchewan health card will be required for a test. A Canadian Armed Forces number or interim federal health identification will also be accepted.
“The drive-through sites will be first come, first served so there may be some wait times,” The Saskatchewan Health Authority said in a release on Saturday. “You must wait in your vehicle. There are no public washrooms available at these sites and you will be required to wear a mask during the registration process.”
