OT - some very sensible advice from our local medical practice...feel free to share"Mon, 9 Mar at 9:16 amHi WMC community
It seems increasingly likely that in the next day or two, ALL people with flu-like symptoms (whether they have travelled overseas or not) are going to be considered a potential case of Covid-19 (novel coronavirus).
This means ANY cold or flu symptoms, NO MATTER HOW MINOR.
*STAY HOME if you have any cold or flu symptoms. Don't attend work or school, and isolate yourself from others until you have recovered completely. Most people will not have Covid-19! However, treatment for Covid-19 is exactly the same as every other cold or flu you've ever had - you need rest and time to recover, and don't need antibiotics or other prescription medications.
*USE THE PHONE. If your symptoms are more concerning, don't attend a medical centre - call first instead. (Our number is (xx) xxxxxxxx). If you come to our clinic in person with cold and flu symptoms, we will ask you to immediately return to your car to avoid spreading infection to others.
*STAY INFORMED. Follow our Facebook page, encourage other practice patients to as well, and check our website regularly.
