Canadians concerned they may have symptoms of COVID-19 can now get advice from the federal government without having to leave the house or spend time on hold.

An online self-assessment tool was launched Saturday by the federal government.

Anyone using the tool is asked a series of questions about themselves. Depending on what symptoms users report, they are advised to either visit an emergency room, call telehealth, self-isolate at home or do nothing.

It also includes links to provincial and territorial resources on COVID-19.
