  • Albertans who are close contacts of a confirmed case, whether symptomatic or not;
  • Albertans who are linked to a known outbreak, whether symptomatic or not; and,
  • Asymptomatic Albertans who require asymptomatic testing for the purpose of travel.

If you do not have symptoms and do not fall into the above list, you are not recommended for COVID-19 testing.

If you have any of the following symptoms, you will need to immediately self-isolate.

  • fever, new onset of cough or worsening chronic cough, new or worsening shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, sore throat, runny nose, chills, painful swallowing, stuffy nose, headache, muscle/joint ache, feeling unwell, fatigue, severe exhaustion, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, unexplained loss of appetite, loss of sense of smell or taste, conjunctivitis (pink eye)

NOTE: Anyone who tests positive for COVID-19, or is experiencing the symptoms above is legally required to self-isolate for a minimum of 10 days from the start of symptoms, or until symptoms resolve, whichever is longer; however, these individuals ARE allowed to leave home to come for testing, following the guidance outlined in this Order.

You can complete this assessment for yourself or on behalf of someone else, if they are not able.
