COVID-19 UPDATE AND VACCINATION INFORMATION

Guidelines for patients who think they have COVID-19:

  • If you are sick with mild symptoms (cough, runny nose, sore throat), stay at home. Follow the self-isolation guidelines from your local public health unit
  • If you have respiratory symptoms (like a cough, fever, or difficulty breathing) and think you need to see a doctor, CALL FIRST, BEFORE COMING TO THE CLINIC.  
  • If you think you may have COVID-19, please get tested. Please check the BCCDC website for excellent information on testing. You can call our office if you are uncertain.

Guidelines for patients coming to the clinic:

  • We require that patients wear a surgical or medical mask in the clinic.  We will provide you with one.
  • Stay two meters (six feet) away from other people and avoid touching surfaces.
