Over 750 tourism and hospitality workers got tested for COVID-19 at the temporary assessment centre in Niagara Falls.

It opened outside the Scotiabank Convention Centre on August 5th and it just recently closed this past Friday.

This was a partnership between the City of Niagara Falls, Niagara Falls Tourism and the Scotiabank Convention Centre in hopes of reducing the wait times at the other assessment centres in the Region.

You can still get tested for the virus at the other Niagara Health Assessment Centres in Niagara Falls, St. Catharines and Welland.
