Eastbound Medical Clinic requires patients with COVID symptoms, including cough, sore throat, runny nose, or fever, to do the following before attending in-person appointments*:
- Take a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) to test for COVID. If you do not perform a RAT before arriving at the clinic, we can provide one to you for a $20.00 fee.
- If your RAT is negative, wear a mask while attending your in-person appointment.
- If your RAT is positive, call the clinic to arrange a telehealth appointment instead.
*Information current as of August 2024
It is recommended to wear a mask:
- For 7 days if you have COVID-19 or are a close contact
- If you have any COVID-19 symptoms
- If you are with people who may be vulnerable to COVID-19
- If you are visiting or working in a hospital or aged care
- If you know you are categorised as a high risk
