COVID-19 INFORMATION for PATIENTS

The Manitoulin Central Family Health Team has closed their main entrance until further notice. We will continue to offer primary care services. These services will now look a bit different.

​

Patients will be offered telephone or virtual care appointments.

​

Patients with confirmed in-person appointments at the clinic are asked to call the clinic on their cell phone for entry via the main entrance to the Family Health Team.  The phone number has been posted on the door to the clinic.  If patients do not have access to a cell phone, a receiver has been placed at the entrance allowing patients to speak into the monitor and a team member will assist.

​

ONLY patients with confirmed in-person appointments and who are screened negative for COVID-19 will be allowed into the clinic.

​

Until further notice and subject to change as updates become available:

• All walk-in clinics have been cancelled.

• All Teleophthalmology clinics/Diabetic Eye Exams within the communities are cancelled.

• All programming that include group sessions are cancelled.

• STAND UP, Bariatric Group, Cooking Classes are all cancelled.

Travel grants are NOT being processed at this time.  Patients can submit travel grants up to a year following their specialist appointment.  Blank travel grants can be obtained from their specialist office or downloaded from the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care from this link.

If you are experiencing any of the following NEW symptoms, DO NOT come to the clinic:

• Fever

• Cough

• Shortness of breath

If your symptoms are mild, please phone the clinic to discuss your health care needs.  If your symptoms are severe, then

you may need to be tested for the coronavirus at an approved COVID-19 Assessment centre.  Assessment centres on the island are located adjacent to the emergency departments in Little Current (call 705-368-2300) and Mindemoya (call 705-377-5311).  YOU MUST CALL AHEAD FOR AN APPOINTMENT.

If you have severe shortness of breath or are extremely ill, call 911.
