Ottawa Public Health says Brewer Arena will be home to the city's first COVID-19 Community Assessment Centre.
The agency is focussed on getting it operational as soon as possible.
I just visited Brewer Park for a walk through with the @OttawaHospital at the arena – assessment centre. They are organized and hope to open tomorrow afternoon. This is the only assessment centre in #Ottawa at the moment. Brewer Pool and Park are still open. #ottnews #Covid_19 pic.twitter.com/k6V3ULznW1

At a news conference, Wednesday, a doctor from The Ottawa Hospital said the city's first assessment centre should open at some point next week.
Plans are in the works to open two centres in Ottawa, and possibly more if called for.
Media availability is expected to be offered once the Brewer Arena site is ready.
