Information about COVID-19

​18th March 2020
Please note that as a result of the Covid-19 virus problem, we wanted to share the following precautions with you:
Our office remains open but we request you read this letter before coming.
 
3 questions to see if you should come to your appointment; if yes, then please cancel.

1. Do you currently have any respiratory or flu symptoms: fever, cough, sore throat or breathing difficulties?​
2. Have you knowingly been in contact with anyone who has COVID-19 or is being investigated for this?​

           New office policy during this time:

• If you have any respiratory symptoms (colds, coughs, fever), cancel your appointment! No fees will be charged but we would like as much notice as possible.
• If you only need a phone or telemedicine consultation, we will be arranging this too: please ask us.
• 2 people only in the waiting room at any one time please, to observe social distancing
• If you have accompanied anyone to their appointment, once they are in our office please wait either outside on our patio or in your car.
• If you arrive early for your appointment, check in with our front staff then wait outside or in your car until your appointment time.
• Bring a coat, gloves, and hat in case you decide to wait outside!
• Bring your own water bottle if you think you may need a drink while you are at our office.
• We already wipe down all clinical surfaces with medicated wipes.
• We will be wiping our surfaces, reception counter, and our bank machine regularly, and encourage you to use “tap” where possible on the bank machine.

​
We continue to monitor the situation daily and will post any updates on our website.
Yours in health,
Drs David and Jannice Bowler
