CORONAVIRUS INFORMATION (Covid-19)

Covid Alert Level 2
MMC is open for business but if you are sick please stay home and phone an MMC Nurse for advice.
Note; Our phones will be unattended between 12.30 and 1.30pm and again from 4.30pm to enable staff to clear the answerphone and return calls.
If you have an emergency during these times please dial 111.

Covid Testing:
Testing is available at MMC for enrolled patients who have cold or flu like symptoms.
To get tested you must phone and book a time, wear a mask to the appointment and wait in your car until the booked time.
Priority will be given to those over 65 or suffering a long term condition, Maori or Pacifica. (MOH directive)
If you do not have symptoms then please go to the testing centres at Claudelands or Health Te Aroha.
These tests are free however Pathlab do offer testing for a fee for those travelling overseas or employers demanding testing.

Accessing MMC Services:
Our aim is to move patients through MMC as quickly as possible to reduce the risk of exposure to any infection while you are here.
So we ask you to help us by:
Appointments:
Please do not come into MMC any earlier than 5 mins before your appointment time, you will be asked to prepay so you can leave straight away.
Also avoid stopping to socialise with others while here.
Contact tracing:
If you are booked on our system we will have your details recorded. But if you are collecting a script or accompanying a family member then you will be asked for your details.
Please do not come in with friends or family if you are not required to assist them.
