CORONAVIRUS UPDATE

To protect the health of our patients, staff, physicians and our community we have implemented screening protocol at our clinic as outlined by Public Health. As a result, you may experience longer than normal wait times on the phone or at check in. We are working hard to ensure the delays are minimal.

This is a quickly evolving situation and we are working to stay up-to-date.

Thank you for complying with our screening requests.

How to protect yourself

There are everyday actions that can help prevent the spread of germs that cause respiratory illnesses. Take these everyday steps to reduce exposure to the virus and protect your health:

  • wash your hands often with soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer

  • sneeze and cough into your sleeve

  • avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth

  • avoid contact with people who are sick

  • stay home if you are sick

If you are travelling to an area known to have cases of coronavirus, be sure to avoid:

  • high-risk areas such as farms, live animal markets and areas where animals may be slaughtered

  • contact with animals (alive or dead), including pigs, chickens, ducks and wild birds

  • surfaces with animal droppings or secretions on them
