Here is a great video explaining the science behind the rational for social distancing. This would also double as a great math lesson for teenagers home on social isolation. https://youtu.be/fgBla7RepXU

Online booking of appointments is available. See the link above. For patient safety, to continue social distancing practices and reduce the risk of transmission of the COVID19 virus we will attempt to resolve your medical issue over the telephone. Patients with symptoms concerning for COVID19 are directed to be seen at an alternate site so that the risk to patients in office is minimized. If you require an in office appointment arrangements have been made to prevent exposure to other patients.

I am posting the link to Nova Scotias website for COVID19 related information: https://novascotia.ca/coronavirus/

"Critical Coronavirus / COVID-19 update. As directed by the Department of Health, in order to minimize the spread of the Coronavirus / COVID-19 infection in our community: If you have traveled out of country within the preceding 14 days, please do not attend your appointment at the Wolfville Professional Centre, as you are required by the Public Health directive to remain at home for a 14 day self-isolation period, regardless of symptom presence or absence. If possible, plea...se cancel your appointment through our website rather than phoning. You may also phone your pharmacy, should you require extensions of your prescriptions. If you are symptomatic with a fever equal or greater than 38 deg C or OR a new cough, or worsening of a chronic cough AND you have traveled outside of Canada within 14 days of symptom onset OR you have been in close contact with a high risk individual, please -again- DO NOT seek medical attention from your family physician or local walk-in clinic. Please instead - call 811 - and await their direction to determine whether you require assessment at a COVID-19 testing site. To lessen the burden on 811, another phone line has been set up to answer questions related to the virus, please call 1-833-784-4397. We ask for your full cooperation as we strive to minimize the spread of this virus among the public." See more
