TURANGA HEALTH - RESPONSE TO NATIONAL COVID-19 LOCKDOWN

Turanga Health is considered an essential service and remains accessible during the lockdown. However, as a result of COVID-19 Alert Level 4 Turanga Health is making changes to the health services it provides.

We are:

• minimizing face-to-face consultations
• increasing virtual contact, and
• encouraging whanau to self-isolate and social distance.
  
  

The changes are being made to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 to communities.

• If you are feeling unwell phone your own GP or Healthline. DO NOT visit the clinic.
• If you need a repeat of your prescription, or need help with administrative matters like ACC referrals, phone your GP for health advice. DO NOT visit the clinic.
  
  

If you think you have COVID-19 symptoms, or if you or your whanau has returned from overseas in the past 14 days, or have been in close contact with a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19, call the Healthline on 0800 358 5453 for advice.

To enable us to continue to provide health services to our communities it’s important during this time of national lockdown that everyone unites in the fight against COVID-19.
