Dozens turned out to be tested Saturday at the clinic at Ogilvie North Park
Residents of Vanier and Overbrook turned out by the dozens to get COVID-19 tests Saturday, at a first-of-its-kind mobile testing booth.
The event aims to help vulnerable people living in the Vanier and Overbrook areas get tested for the novel coronavirus.
The mobile clinic — the first of its kind in Ottawa — brought medical staff and test kits right to the doorstep of some of the city’s most disadvantaged residents.
Residents in Ottawa's east end can get a coronavirus test in Ogilvie North Park on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
