Covid-19 Update – Traffic Light RED, phase 3
As COVID-19 is now widespread throughout New Zealand and we also have local cases, there are NEW processes in place to ensure patient safety and enable us to maintain health services throughout the pandemic. From Monday 28 February the new processes are:
All consults will be via video link or telephone unless your doctor or nurse needs to see you face to face. Reception may ask you questions about what you need to be seen for so they can let the doctor or nurse know.
If you need a repeat prescription or to make an appointment, PLEASE RING reception on 033193501 to request these OR get onto the My Indici patient portal to request these, or check your results. DO NOT walk into the medical centre, as you will not be able to get in unless seeing a doctor or nurse.
PCR testing, We will continue to test Monday to Friday and if you need to be tested please ring 03 319 3501 to book with the nurse.
RAT testing, Kaikoura Pharmacy is able to do RAT testing for unvaccinated people travelling in New Zealand and is also doing Ministry of Justice RAT tests for people attending court locally.
Critical worker RAT tests are available from Kaikoura Healthcare for employees of critical business which have applied to MBIE for registration as a critical employer.
