Interior Health said it is safe to wait for a test, however, anyone waiting for a test means they have respiratory symptoms and should be self-isolating until their test and results. People are not being referred to other locations, such as Salmon Arm, for testing.
Even if their COVID-19 result is negative, people should continue self-isolating until their respiratory symptoms resolve.
