Changes are being made at the Brewer COVID-19 Assessment Centre due to high demand.
In a tweet, Capital Ward councillor Shawn Menard said new porta-potties would be installed for those waiting in line.
A temporary tent will also be set up on the south side of the arena.
Currently, the assessment centre doesn't require a referral or an appointment, but Menard said he continues to work with city staff and the Ottawa Hospital on how to shift to an appointment based system.
