Where to go for same-day assessment and care for your child:
CHEO Emergency Department
If your child is very sick and needs to be seen immediately, go the CHEO Emergency Department.
Primary-care provider
If you child has new symptoms and you have a primary-care provider (family doctor, nurse practitioner or pediatrician), please contact their office first. Many community providers are offering in person or virtual appointments.
Kids Come First COVID-19 Care Clinic
If your child is over 6 months and has new symptoms such as fever, cough, vomiting, belly pain, ear ache, or runny nose, cannot be seen in-person by their primary care provider, and needs to be assessed in-person, book an appointment with the Kids Come First COVID-19 Care Clinic.
Note that if your child has had a COVID-19 test in the last few days because of these symptoms, you can still be seen in-person in the Kids Come First COVID-19 Care Clinic.
CHEO Virtual Emergency Department
If your child has new symptoms (including a mild injury) but generally looks well, a virtual visit with an emergency doctor may be appropriate. They will assess your child and decide if additional care is needed. Go to the CHEO Virtual Emergency Department
COVID-19 testing
If your child only requires a COVID-19 test, go to the COVID-19 CHEO Assessment Centre.
