25.01.2022 If you’ve been keeping a close eye on the case locations, you will see that a number of chemists and medical centres have been recently listed. Don’t visit a ch...emist or medical centre if you have any cold or flu symptoms before getting tested for COVID-19, self-isolating and receiving a negative result. If you need to speak to a doctor about your symptoms, call your GP or medical centre to ask about a telehealth appointment. If you need medicine to manage your symptoms while waiting for your test result, call your chemist about other options such as contactless home delivery or order online if you can.
