COVID-19 UPDATE
June 25, 2020
Comox Medical Clinic is keeping the health and safety of our patients, staff and physicians our main priority.
All physicians have transitioned to telephone visits for our patients to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19.
Most prescriptions can be faxed to your pharmacy, once your physician has spoken with you over a Telehealth phone visit.
While most visits may be managed over the phone, there will be some medical issues that require face-to-face interaction in the clinic. This will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Please call our receptionists for an appointment like you normally would, and we will determine whether your needs can be dealt with by a phone call from a physician, or whether you need to come in to the clinic.
We will remain open Monday to Saturday to serve you, but we have temporarily stopped our evening clinics.
All visits and services require a booked appointment. This includes lab work and injections.
Any patients who do come into the clinic during the COVID-19 pandemic will be asked to wear a mask for their entire visit,
disinfect their hands upon arrival and maintain physical distancing of a minimum of 6 feet.
We ask that patients arrive for their appointments no more than 5 minutes early and, where possible,
to not have any non-essential accompanying visitors along for your appointment.
Rest assured Comox Medical Clinic will adhere to the recommendations of the Provincial Health Officer, B.C. College of Physicians and Surgeons, WorkSafe BC and the BCCDC when implementing clinic policies for patients, staff and physicians.
