Document: The rapid emergence of SARS-CoV-2 as a pandemic pathogen threatens to overwhelm health systems in Canada, from primary to tertiary care levels. Canadian provinces have developed web-and mobile appbased self-assessment tools to help individuals assess whether they need testing for the virus and/or medical care. The intent is that if individuals, guided by easy to use tools, are themselves able to triage based on exposure history, severity or kind of symptoms, and relevant comorbidities, the capacity of the health system for both testing and treatment is more efficiently allocated to the most urgent cases, and the risk of nosocomial transmission to uninfected persons in health care facilities is reduced.
