CoVID- 19
In response to the increase in the diagnosed cases of CoVID-19 (novel coronavirus) in Victoria, we would like to provide some advice around how Lakeside is responding to the constantly changing situation. Our response is guided by Department of Health and Human Services of Victoria.
With regards to Social Distancing we have implemented many changes to our operations & we will be continuing hygiene and screening measures to ensure a safe environment.
Our clinicians and staff are acutely aware that CoVID-19 is highly contagious and currently the best defence is hand hygiene – using hand sanitiser or washing your hands with soap and water before and after your consultation. Your safety is our priority.
Therefore, if you have had any of the below symptoms, please visit the closest testing station. Our Clinicians cannot see you until you have been cleared.
