GLOW will follow advice from SA Health and our clinical experts to protect our
patients, doctors, and staff. We will re-introduce additional or new restrictions
which may be at minimal notice at our discretion or as mandated.
Especially during a surge in cases, or high-risk situations.
On arrival and Screening Patients
Patients are to stay home if they have any coughs, colds, or flu like symptoms
and cannot enter our rooms until any acute symptoms have cleared. We will
continue to screen patients on arrival. A phone/telehealth consult can be
organised if suitable. Please attend your appointment with only one (1)
support person for social distancing measures.
No Children other than newborns are to enter our rooms.
Vaccination Status
Our preference is for all patients to be vaccinated; however, our rooms will
continue to provide a service to all patients regardless of their vaccination
status. We may ask for proof of vaccination on occasion.
For COVID Positive Patients
Please call GLOW on 7082 3788 to reschedule your appointment,
alternatively a telehealth or phone consult can be arranged if suitable.
Stay home until your acute symptoms have cleared (usually 5 to 7 days) you
may enter our rooms on day 8 if you have no symptoms.
For Close Contacts
Our practice prefers close contacts stay home, to monitor for symptoms for up
to 7 days – you may be able to enter our rooms on day 8, with no symptoms,
again a telehealth or phone consult can be arranged if suitable or
rescheduling your appointment.
Following these close contact guidelines for at least 7 days will help to protect
our vulnerable patients, doctors, and staff, while you are potentially infectious.
Masks
Masks are encouraged but not mandatory unless there is a high-risk situation.
Thank you for your understanding.
