Where to get treatment

COVID-19 treatment, including the Paxlovid pill, is for people who are at higher risk of becoming seriously sick or being hospitalized from COVID-19.

Use the Ontario government's COVID-19 antiviral treatment screener to help you determine if you are at higher risk of becoming seriously sick or being hospitalized from COVID-19 and may benefit from these treatments. This screener is only meant as an aid and cannot guarantee you access to COVID-19 antiviral treatment.

If you have COVID-19 symptoms, even if they are mild, and you think you may benefit from COVID-19 treatment, come see us at Health Access Taylor-Massey, our Community Outreach Centre in Thorncliffe Park or the Cold, Flu and COVID-19 Clinic. You can also visit your local pharmacy or a Clinical Assessment Centre in Toronto. Learn more about COVID-19 treatment.
