As of tomorrow, Friday the 12th of November, COVID restrictions in the ACT are easing. In line with this, Belconnen Animal Hospital will be changing our restrictions also.
-Density can increase to 2sqm/person. This will mean that we can have up to 3 clients in a consultation at a time, up from 1 person presently.
-We will still be maintaining the density in reception of 5 clients, to limit the flow of people.
-When you arrive for your appointment, please let our receptionist know, either by coming into reception, or by phoning from outside.
-We will still be requiring clients to wait outside prior to their appointment, either in their vehicle or on the available seating. We will call you through at the time of your appointment.
-Clients can be permitted in the practice without having to wear a mask if they have had 2 doses of an approved COVID vaccine and are not exhibiting any signs of being unwell. If you have not yet been fully vaccinated, we will require you to still wear a mask when inside the practice. We still encourage clients to wear a mask into the practice even if you have been fully vaccinated.
-We are again able to offer scheduled house call consultations if required.
Finally from all of the staff at Belconnen Animal Hospital, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude to our clients and all Ken Behrens. Everyone has been extremely accommodating and patient during the past few months while we have been operating under restrictions. Furthermore, it is thanks to everyone's proactivity that we have the highest vaccination rates in the country, and it is that which permits us to operate under a more normal regime going forwards.
Thank you,
Dr Shannon West
Director
