In accordance with Public Health advice, Lawnton Medicals asks that any individuals who begin experiencing respiratory
symptoms (fever, cough, difficulty breathing) and have recently travelled to China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan,
Korea, Iran, and Singapore or had contact with someone diagnosed with the novel coronavirus within the last 14 days
call the medical centre or hospital before arrival so that the appropriate infection control measures can be put in place and people
can be directed to the best place for testing and treatment.
If possible we advise travelling with a mask on.
This coordination between providers, hospitals, and public health is critical for our continued effort to best respond to and reduce
transmission.
This is a rapidly changing situation both abroad and domestically, and we are still learning.
Let’s remember this virus is identified within the past month and there is much we don’t know yet.
