COVID-19 Doctors Information
Healthcare workers should implement additional safety measures when consulting with patients with suspected COVID-19 infection to prevent further transmission of the COVID-19 virus:
• Implement a screening process to avoid infectious patients entering your rooms and exposing other patients and staff to the COVID-19 virus
• Have sufficient PPE in your rooms to protect yourself and other practicing healthcare providers during consultations.
• Refer to the following link for the NICD’s COVID-19 Quick Reference for Health Workers for guidance for the necessary guidelines.
• Ensure that all patients wear surgical masks prior to entry to your practice to protect other people in your consulting room. Ensure that all patients use a hand sanitiser before entering your rooms.
