Assess yourself if you are sick with a respiratory illness
COVID-19 treatment
Your symptoms could be compatible with COVID-19 or other respiratory illnesses.
If you were to test positive for COVID-19, you might be eligible to receive anti-viral treatment such as Paxlovid. In order to receive treatment, you will have to see a health care provider for assessment and testing. Paxlovid can only be given within 5 days of symptom onset, and can only be given after confirmatory COVID-19 testing has been done.
To get assessed and discuss the need for testing, contact or visit:
- your primary care provider in Whitehorse;
- the nurse in your local health centre in rural Yukon; or
- your local emergency department.
