MP SPORTS PHYSICIANS COVID PLAN
Effective August 3 2020
With the announcement of Stage 4 restrictions by the State Government today,our COVID 19 plan has been updated as follows:
All patients are strongly encouraged to utilise the option of telehealth wherever possible.
If a telehealth appointment is conducted and the Doctor deems is necessary for the patient to attend to complete the appointment, there is no additional charge for that attendance.
Patients should not attend the clinic if they have any cold or flu like symptoms.
ALL patients MUST wear a mask when attending the clinic.
No visitors or support people are permitted in the waiting room.
Frail patients who are unsafe to ambulate alone may have a support person help them into the waiting room. Clinical staff will look after them from that point. Support people will be contacted to come back in at the end of the appointment.
Children may attend with a maximum of one parent.
POSITIVE TESTS
In the event of a person testing positive who has been present in our clinic during their infection period, the clinic will be closed immediately for deep cleaning. All people deemed to have been contacts will immediately self-isolate and undergo COVID 19 testing. As stated above, clinical staff may continue working remotely in this case.
SUMMARY
These infection guidelines have been put in place to ensure the safety of our patients, staff and the wider community and we thank you for your efforts in helping us to control the spread of COVID 19.
