COVID-19 and health

Many of you have been calling 211 Greater Montréal to get information on COVID-19 or to make an appointment with a clinic. We understand you are worried, however, 211 cannot answer questions related to your health nor can we make appointments for you with a COVID-19 screening clinic and we cannot ensure a psychosocial follow-up either. You must follow the guidelines established by the ministère de la Santé et des Services Sociaux (MSSS). Please call one of these two phone numbers:

  1. The Québec Government’s information hotline on COVID-19 available Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm: 1-877-644-4545
  2. Info-Santé: 8-1-1.
  3. Info-Social: 8-1-1, ext. 2.

To make an appointment with a clinic: please call 811 first. They will advise and direct you to the best resource.
