British Columbia has created a new hotline, 

, to answer non-medical information about COVID-19. This includes the latest information on travel recommendations and social distancing, as well support and resources available from the provincial and federal governments. 1-888-COVID19 is available seven days a week, from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. in 110 languages.

For individuals experiencing symptoms related to COVID-19 or any other health related issue, please continue to use the existing healthline, 811.

You may also continue to use the BC COVID-19 Symptom Self-Assessment Tool:

If you have no symptoms, mild symptoms or you are a returning traveller self-isolating at home, you do not require a test.

For each of these situations, the public health advice remains the same, regardless of test results: self-isolate for 14 days to monitor for the development of symptoms or until your symptoms are completely gone.

Those who have severe illness, require hospitalization , are residents of long-term care facilities or are health-care workers will continue to be tested.

Anyone part of an active investigation or outbreak cluster will be tested so they can be appropriately monitored.

If symptoms appear, call your health-care provider or 811 for guidance.
