This is how Canada is dealing with COVID-19:
The City of Ottawa is taking all the necessary precautions including a 'drive-through screening centre'. The protocol involves:
1) a detailed questionnaire administered by telephone,
2) if warranted, an invitation to be tested,
3) taking the swab through the window of your car (DON'T WALK INTO THE HOSPITAL),
4) delivering the test results by telephone, and
5) receiving whatever treatment is appropriate.
