COVID-19 Courthouse Screening Tool

This screening is only meant for entering Ontario courthouses and cannot diagnose you. If you have medical questions, consult a health care provider or your local public health unit.

Purpose

People can answer the questions to determine whether it is safe for them to enter a courthouse in Ontario, and what to do next.They can do it themselves or on behalf of others. It provides users with an easy-to-display result on their mobile device, indicating if they should or should not enter a courthouse due to possible COVID-19 exposure or symptoms. They can also print out their result.

Reach

Potential impacts
