Ottawa's first drive-thru COVID-19 screening site at the Queensway Carleton Hospital saw a steady stream of traffic Friday morning but has closed now that the testing facility at Brewer Arena has opened. Dr. Bhaskar Gopalan, chief of the Queensway Carleton ER, says the drive-thru COVID-19 screening site is only accepting referrals from Ottawa Public Health and will not be administering tests to walk-in patients. Health authorities said the woman, in her 40s, travelled to Italy and also visited the Queensway Carleton Hospital, but is now in self-isolation. Gopalan said visitors to the drive-thru site had to be referred by Ottawa Public Health. A COVID-19 screening site at Brewer Arena in Old Ottawa South opens noon Friday.
