Self-isolation guidance for COVID infected patients

Self Isolation MOH

Self-isolation is an effective precautionary measure to protect those around you – your family, friends, colleagues – from contracting COVID-19. It means taking simple, common-sense steps to avoid close contact with other people as much as possible, like you would with the seasonal flu virus. Taking these measures will help protect you, your family.

As much as possible, you should limit your contact with people. You should avoid having visitors to your home.

If you are in a home where the others who live with you haven’t travelled or been in close contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19, you should minimise close contact with them by avoiding situations where you have face-to-face contact closer than 2 metres for more than 15 minutes.

You should not share dishes, drinking glasses, cups, eating utensils, towels, pillows or other items with other people in your home. After using these items, you should wash them thoroughly with soap and water, place them in the dishwasher for cleaning or wash them in your washing machine.

To keep you and others safe, you should isolate yourself from other people for 5 days.

General Practice Education Programme

This practice has been accredited by the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners as a teaching practice for general practice registrars.  GP registrars are doctors who have already completed at least eight years of medical training and are going on to specialise in general practice.

They come to this practice for a six-month period to get practical experience under the supervision of Dr Chris Wong and Dr Joanna Lang.

Currently we do not have a registrar.

Patients may be offered an appointment with the registrar.  If you decide to consult with the registrar you are making an important contribution to the education of New Zealand doctors and we appreciate your support.  However, the choice to see the registrar is entirely voluntary and you are always free to see your own doctor if you prefer.

Your comments about the General Practice Education Programme are welcome directly to us or to:
