A few wayward folks including Non Patients who have just walked in to the practice - have disregarded the safety of other patients in the waiting room and acted irresponsibly, refusing to practice safe hygiene and cover their mouths when coughing and not complying with staff health and safety instructions. What is particularly worrisome is some of these folks are not declaring or being honest about overseas travel while displaying symptoms and being dishonest.
We have Zero tolerance for this kind of behavior and conduct as it puts the community, other patients in the waiting area, their families, young children and elderly at high risk.
