Face coverings in Practice
Mask wearing in primary care in no longer compulsory- so what does this mean for us in practice. If you have a high temp/cough/loss of taste or smell or any other covid symptoms such as - shortness of breath, muscle ache, diarrhoea/vomiting, headaches, common cold symptoms, then unless it is an urgent appointment you maybe be offered an alternative for when your symptoms have subsided. If you are required to be seen urgently you should wear a face covering and you will be asked to sit in our isolation room. Patients with respiratory systems who require treatment should wear a face covering when attending or offered one on arrival.
