COVID-19 Assessment Centre at Sunnybrook
The Sunnybrook COVID-19 Assessment Centre is located at 80 Armistice Drive. This building is located at the northern part of Sunnybrook's Bayview Campus, often called "The Estates."
Who can receive testing at Sunnybrook’s COVID-19 Assessment Centre?
Sunnybrook's Assessment Centre provides COVID-19 testing to adults and children over the age of one if they meet any of following criteria, as per the Government of Ontario's guidelines. Please note: Appointments are required, as our centre no longer accepts walk-ins.
NOTE: If you have had contact with someone who has COVID-19, please isolate and wait at least 7 days from the date of contact with the COVID-19 positive individual before coming in for a test. This timeframe allows for the most accurate test results. If you have questions, please speak to your primary care team or check out this Toronto Public Health information. If you have had contact with someone who has COVID-19, and you have received a negative result in the first 6 days post-contact, a repeat test is recommended on day 10 or later. Regardless of your test results, you must self-isolate for 14 days after exposure.
Adults:
- You are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19
- You were told by Public Health or notified by the COVID-19 Alert app that you were exposed to the virus (you may be asked to show Assessment Centre staff this notification).
- You have a close household contact who tested positive in the past 14 days.
- You work or live in a place where there’s an outbreak and you were told by Public Health or your Infection Prevention team to get a COVID-19 test.
- You work in a shelter, other congregate care setting or long-term care facility (or you must visit one and require testing to do so).
-
You were asked to get a COVID-19 test by the Ministry of Health or Public Health as part of other targeted group testing.
Note: Testing before international travel is no longer supported by Ontario’s assessment centres, as per government direction. Please find more information about international travel here.
Children (under the age of 16):
Please note: Toronto Public Health recently updated their guidance about who should get tested for COVID-19. A child can get a COVID-19 test at the Assessment Centre if they have any one of the following symptoms:
- fever or chills (temp of 37.8 or greater)
- cough (more than usual)

Sunnybrook is equipped to test children over the age of one for COVID-19. Any children under the age of one should go to their local Emergency Department for COVID-19 testing.
Note: Testing criteria for children may vary by city or region. Please check the guidance of the public health unit in your area.
Only people who meet any of the above criteria book an appointment to be tested at a COVID-19 Assessment Centre.
