COVID
Masks
Masks are still required to be worn in the medical center.
- Please let us know if you have a cough, cold, sore throat or other flu like symptoms. We can book an appointment for you in our respiratory clinic or will take a message and have the nurse phone you back.
Vaccine Booster Doses available
Continue to use the on line booking system in the link following for your COVID vaccinations. You can book on line at: https://bookmyvaccine.covid19.health.nz/
Unmasked
This practice respects that some people are not able to routinely wear a mask and they have an exemption for this. However, both our practice staff and other patients are in a potentially vulnerable situation with unmasked patients entering the building.
For those who have an exemption, and you have no respiratory illness you are welcome in the waiting room. If you have respiratory symptoms then you will be asked to wait in your car until invited in by the doctor or seen in the Respiratory Clinic.
Positive COVID-19 tests
As more people test for COVID -19 and record their results on My Covid Record then a more accurate picture of the spread is available. If you test positive, there are requirements for you to self isolate, along with other requirements for household contacts. More information can be found on this form or at https://covid19.govt.nz/ . We no longer routinely contact every COVID positive patient, but please know if you need support then call us on 03 3488711 between 8.am and 5.pm.
