Dear Sir or Madam,

Given the current developments connected to the coronavirus (Covid19), we have instituted the following measures in our practice which we believe will help restrict the spread of the virus as much as possible.

• The walk-in consultation will be stopped from today (16 March 2020).

• Already arranged appointments are cancelled. The doctor will contact you by telephone or Facetime to evaluate your symptoms.

• If you are suffering acute symptoms that may be related to the coronavirus (such as sneezing, coughing, shortness of breath, headache or fever): do not come to the practice but call us instead. If the symptoms are evaluated as serious, then a special doctor with the appropriate equipment will visit you at home to assess your condition.

• For other acute symptoms (like acute abdominal pain, chest pain, signs of a urinary tract infection, bone fracture, etc.): do not come to the practice but call us instead.

• For non-acute symptoms, please email us at vanraalte@roelofhart.nl. We shall do our best to reply within 2 working days.

Kind regards,

Joost van Raalte and Pascale Paques, general practitioners
