Grey Bruce Health Unit’s COVID-19 Help Line Re-Activated

Having successfully contained the recent surge in cases of COVID-19 locally, the Grey Bruce Health Unit is re-activating our telephone Helpline, 519-376-9420 ext. 3000

To prevent further transmission and support the large case volume staff were re-assign from the Helpline to assist contact tracing and case management during the recent surge.

The Helpline provides general guidance related to COVID-19. It is not a vaccine booking system or capable of managing booking system challenges. Most questions to the Helpline are answered on our website. As such, basic vaccine or COVID-19 questions in which the answer is easily available on our website or application will be referred to our website. We will respond to those without capacity to review the website.

As a reminder when calling the Helpline, please ensure you speak respectfully to the staff, avoiding rude, vulgar or cruel language, as it will not be tolerated.
