COVID 19 UPDATE FOR MALLEE BORDER HEALTH CENTRE
As you are all aware, unfortunately the COVID-19 positive testing numbers have increased in Victoria especially in the Melbourne area.
As we service the cross-border communities, we are ever mindful of our responsibility to keep everyone safe.
To this end, we ask that you continue to ring before you attend if you have any cold/flu like symptoms, so we can instruct you how we will manage your appointment.
In view of the current COVID-19 numbers in Victoria, we also ask that any of our Victorian patients who have travelled outside of the Mildura Council Area, and especially those of you who have travelled to Melbourne, in the 2 weeks before your appointment, please ring before you attend your health Practitioner. You may be asked to defer non urgent appointments.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call for advice, and testing is still available through our health service.
