Covid testing in western NL

Have a trip to NL (YDF) scheduled soon. Traveling from the US and just realized I'll need a negative covid test to get back to the US. Anyone have any idea how to get it? Airport website lists a few places spread all over the province. Do they have testing in drug stores, like the US, or must I make an appointment at a clinic? Thanks (and if you have any advice on things to do in the fall in western NL, I'd love to hear it!)

Looks like the closest place to Deer Lake and YDF Airport is in Corner Brook...about 45 mins away.

And the sights to see would definitely be Gros Morne National Park also about 45 mins away but in the other direction.

Hi there! I live on the other end of the island in St. John's and recently got a test at CareGivers here in the city. I know they have an office in Corner Brook, however I am not sure if they test there but it's certainly worth reaching out to them. It cost me $75 for an antigen test for a trip to the USA in early September, and I had the results in 20 minutes.

Enjoy western NL - I had the pleasure of spending many years in the region, and it's truly remarkable! A drive around Gros Morne and the Tablelands is a must, Corner Brook is a very charming city and, if you have time, a trip down to Burgeo for the beaches is well worth it. The Port au Port peninsula is also worth seeing - spectacular scenery and a drive around it is only two hours.

Thanks. I'll call the Corner Brook location to verify. I am looking forward to the trip. I'll be staying at Norris Point. I'll be busy for only one day and have 5 full days to explore. Thanks for the advice. Gros Morne was already in the plans. Will definitely look into Burgeo and Port au Port!
