COVID-19 Update 16th March 2020

On March 11th 2020 the W.H.O classified the COVID-19 as a worldwide pandemic.   The situation is evolving rapidly with different guidelines being issued by respective governments around the world.
In view of this, our clinic is trying to adapt to these events by balancing the medical needs of our patients to the safety and well-being of patients in the clinic and our staff. 
 

COVID -19 Testing
We can arrange private rapid Covid -19 testing for those who require a certificate for travel, fitness to return to work or concerned about their symptoms. This can be done as a blood, nose/throat swab or saliva test. It is mandatory to have a phone consultation with one of our doctors to assess if you are suitable for this test first. Please contact the clinic for further information.

Teleconsultation
In addition, we have set up teleconsultations via Zoom
 
Teleconsults would be suitable for;
 
1-Those who have travelled anywhere in the past 14 days and present with any respiratory symptoms (sore throat, cough, runny nose) with or without a fever or anyone who has been in close contact with them. For such patient you are advised as per Centre of Health protection Hong Kong to self-isolate at home for 14 days.
 
2-We can arrange home testing of COVID-19 . This is only after a consultation with a doctor to assess if it is suitable for you. 
 
3-Those who wish to seek medical advice, but do not wish to attend the clinic due to personal circumstances.
 
4-As always skype consultations continue to be available for psychiatrist or psychologist.

Take a deep breath and carry on.
 
Dr Lily Wong
