COVID-19
On the 30th of January 2020, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) and a worldwide pandemic on 11 March 2020.
WHO announced on 5 May 2023 that it no longer considers COVID-19 a PHEIC; however, the COVID-19 pandemic declaration is still active.
While Australia's chief medical officer declared COVID-19 is no longer a Communicable Disease of National Significance (CDINS) on 20 October 2023, Australia has shifted to managing COVID-19 like other common communicable diseases.
Therefore, Burton Street Family Practice takes all necessary precautions to prevent COVID-19 infection and reduce transmission. Our doctors and staff are committed to managing serious illness, hospitalisations and death.
To that end, we request that patients and visitors to the practice with symptoms of COVID-19 follow our guidelines to protect patients, doctors and staff.
We appreciate your cooperation.
