COVID-Connect

COVID-Connect is a web app that primarily helps a user book appointments to test for COVID-19 at an Ontario assessment centre. Supplementary services include:

• canceling booked appointments
• learning about COVID-19
• frequently asked questions
• a testing survey that can be conducted at home

New features

• See a map of assessment centres
• Admin can modify any assessment centre
• Admin can change the status of any appointment

Instructions:

Non-users have much the same functionality as regular users except that they cannot book appointments. So first proceed to the login view by clicking on the profile icon in the far right of the navigation bar. Sigin by entering user for both username and password. Alternatively, you can signup for your own account. Proceed to the `profile view by clicking on that same profile icon. Here you can change your profile information as desired and check your appointments. The user you logged in as has already booked a few appointments, one of which has a status of negative, which means he tested negative for COVID-19. Feel free to cancel any appointments, as we are going to book a new appointment. Head over to Booking Centre and choose your preferred date and city. Use the map to assist you with your choice. After clicking on FIND ASSESSMENT CENTRES, you are taken to another view which lists all available assessment centres for the selected date in the form of expansion panels. Clicking on any reveals further info, like timeslots. Choose an assessment centre and timeslot and click confirm to confirm your booking. It can now be viewed in the profile page.

If you are unsure whether or not you need to test for COVID-19, go to Screening Tool and do the little survey. If you have uncertanties regarding appointments, go to FAQs before calling an assessment centre directly.

Suppose you want to modify assessment centre info, or heck even change the status of a user's appointment. No worries. Go to the login view and enter admin for both username and password. As admin, you can still change your profile info but you can't book appointments. If you go to Booking Centre, instead of seeing a beautiful map you will be presented with some options, such as adding an assessment centre, deleting, modifying, etc. Scroll down some to see every scheduled appointment in the website. Here you can change the status of any appointment as pleased. One small caveat is that you can't add/delete news articles. But you can check recent news in the Home page.
