As you probably have heard, we now have a reported case in Hastings. This was NOT a community acquired case but occurred in a person who had been traveling internationally. The contacts of this person are being quarantined for 2 weeks which hopefully will prevent further community spread from this case. However, this does emphasize the importance of the social distancing we have previously discussed.
We are doing everything possible to continue to care for our patients In a safe manner. We are using the mornings for well patient visits. Patients who are ill are scheduled for afternoons only. We have taken extra measures to evaluate patients who are at high risk for coronavirus. We are evaluating them remotely so they do not come into our building. We are in the process of finalizing the ability to do both telephone and video visits. We will be putting out more information on this soon.
In order to protect our patients and staff we are not allowing any walk in business. If you need to be seen, have any meds to be refilled or have other questions please call in. We will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you for your help in this manner. Stay safe.
