The Sun Peaks Community Health Centre is asking patients displaying symptoms of CVOID-19, such as a fever, cough or difficulty breathing, not to come to the clinic.
“If you have concerns regarding these symptoms and if they are mild, please self isolate by staying at home or in your accommodation, wash your hands frequently, avoid touching your face, and monitor your symptoms,” read a statement released by the centre.
If symptoms progress to moderate or severe, patients can call the Urgent Primary Care Centre in Kamloops after 11 a.m. to book an appointment between 4:30 and 8:30 p.m. The phone number for the clinic is 250-314-2256.
“Our medical team is continuing to work and be available for our patients. If you have a chronic disease or are at higher risk of getting sick, our team may be able to do a phone call appointment with you. Please inquire if this would be the best option for you.”
The clinic told SPIN it was not currently equipped to handle patients with COVID-19 symptoms.
