Even during the pandemic, you can consult a health or social services professional if you feel the need or if you or a family member has a health problem or a psychosocial problem.

It is especially important to continue your health or psychosocial follow-up if you or a family member have:

  • a chronic disease (e.g., diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, degenerative disease, etc.);
  • a mental health condition (e.g., depression, anxiety disorder, etc.);
  • cancer;
  • or any other disease, condition or situation that requires regular follow-up with a health or social services professional.

All primary care medical clinics admit patients whether or not they have symptoms similar to COVID-19.

You do not need to be tested to get a consultation.

If you have symptoms, it is recommended that you complete the COVID-19 Symptom Self-Assessment Tool This hyperlink will open in a new window.. This self-assessment will determine whether or not you need to be tested and the procedure to follow.

To find out the various resources that you can consult if you have a health or psychosocial problem, go to the Primary care health and social services page.
