Halton Region opens new Oakville COVID-19 testing site

Oakville residents have a new location where they can get tested for COVID-19.

Halton Region has now made testing for the virus available at Kinoak Arena, located at 363 Warminster Dr. in Oakville.

Testing is open to residents two years of age and older and is available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week.

Halton’s COVID-19 Testing & Assessment Centres have been experiencing an increased level of activity.

If local residents are unable to find a timely appointment at one of our three hospitals they are encouraged to go to the new testing centre at Kinoak Arena.

The new location is for both symptomatic and asymptomatic testing.
