Test Results:

  • The pharmacist will call you when your results are ready. You can also check your results online if you have a Green and White Health Card (https://covid19results.ehealthontario.ca:4443/agree). Most test results will be ready in 3 days but please allow up to 5 days, based on timelines provided by the Ministry’s selected lab partner. Rexall does not control these timelines.
  • It is important that you understand what it means if your COVID-19 test is positive. By law, you must self-isolate for at least 14 days after a positive test result, even if you do not have any symptoms. If you get any symptoms, you must stay in self-isolation for 14 days after your symptoms appear or until your symptoms have cleared, whichever is later. If you test positive, anyone who has been in close contact with you would also, by law, self-isolate for at least 14 days and watch for symptoms. All individuals who test positive for COVID-19 will also be contacted by a member of the Public Health team. Please follow Public Health direction for your specific case.

This COVID-19 test is a voluntary test that is not urgent and may not be medically indicated.

This test detects if the virus is in your nose. As long as you remain asymptomatic, you do not need to self-isolate while you are waiting for your result.

Tests for COVID-19 can only detect the virus at the time of the swab collection and provide only a point in time result. If your test result is negative, you may still go on to develop COVID-19 if you have been exposed in the last 14 days.

Very rarely, the COVID-19 test is falsely positive. This would mean you do not have the virus and you cannot pass it to anyone. You would still need to self-isolate because there is no way to tell if a positive result is a true positive or a false positive.

The testing involves a nose swab which will be done by a pharmacist. You might experience some mild discomfort in your nose. Please blow your nose before entering the pharmacy to prepare for the test.

We will leave a voicemail if you do not answer the phone and your results are negative.

We will request for you to call us back if you do not answer the phone and your results are positive. No details will be left on the voicemail in this case.

Your result could be played through your voicemail by anyone who has access to your phone. Please adjust the settings on your phone to meet your privacy preferences.

You understand that Rexall is not acting as your medical provider, this testing does not replace treatment by your medical provider, and you assume complete and full responsibility to take appropriate action with regards to your test results. You agree that you will seek medical advice, care and treatment from your medical provider if you have questions or concerns or if your condition worsens.

If you have any questions about your health following the test, please reach out to your local public health unit or medical provider.
