• At this time, kits are intended for children and youth who need a test immediately, not for having for the future "just in case".

• The Care Clinic assessments have changed to a collaborative assessment team model to allow as many children as possible to be seen by experienced pediatric clinicians.
• Your child will be assessed by a pediatric nurse. They will take information about this illness, check your child's oxygen and breathing and complete a focused physical exam. They will then provide you with information and resources on how to manage your child's illness over the next few days. The on-site doctor will only see patients identified by the nurse who need more assessment or testing.
