Health Alert – Coronavirus
Cremorne Medical Practice’s protocol for seeing patients with respiratory symptoms is as follows:
- Telehealth for any symptomatic patients is preferred – to qualify for a Medicare rebate, you must have been physically seen in the Practice in the last 12 months
- Any pts over 5 who have symptoms and require a Doctor’s review can be seen physically in the Practice so long as they have a negative RAT on the day of their appointment and are wearing a mask.
- Any pts under 5 who require a Doctor’s review must be seen in isolation – patients under 2 aren’t able to have a RAT and under 5s are generally not able to wear masks. Children aged 2-5 should have a negative RAT on the day of their appointment.
This protocol is to protect our other patients, including those who are immune compromised. Thank you for your understanding.
PLEASE DO NOT PRESENT AT THE PRACTICE if you are on Day 7-14 after a COVID positive diagnosis, as we are a high risk setting.
Please call Reception on (02) 9908 2233 to book a telehealth consult to discuss your concerns.
