Measures taken against Corona from Praktijk Winnubst in Lemiers

We are open again, but have to work with the measures taken by the RIVM and the NVAMG associations. As a result, we only make appointments with people of whom we know with certainty that they are healthy and that they do not belong to the risk group as defined by the RIVM.

You cannot book an appointment if you belong to the group of vulnerable people as defined by the RIVM.
Vulnerable people or people of poor health are difined as aged 70 and above and/or people who have one of the following conditions:

• Abnormalities and disorders of the airways and lungs
• Chronic heart disease
• Diabetes mellitus (diabetes) (in consultation with your practitioner)
• Severe kidney disease resulting in dialysis or kidney transplant
• Reduced resistance to infections:
  • Due to medication for autoimmune diseases
  • After recent organ transplant
  • Due to a haematological disorder (blood disease)
  • Due to congenital or immune disorders that require treatment
  • Because of chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy for cancer
  • Because of a HIV infection (in consultation with your practitioner)

You cannot book an appointment if you (or a housemate) have one of the following complaints:

• (nose) cold
• Coughing or sneezing
• Runny nose
• Sore throat
• Increased temperature (= around 38 degrees) or fever (> 38 degrees)
• Shortness of breath
• Headache
• Burning eyes
• Fatigue
• Feel sick
• Diarrhoea

Additional measures in our practice

• In general: Do not shake hands. Wash your hands, cough and sneeze in the elbow and use paper tissues.
• Do not arrive too early, enter the practice at your scheduled time
• Come alone. Any accompanying persons must wait outside in the car
• When you enter you must desinfect your hands with alcohol
• Keep 1.5 meters apart
• If possible, try to touch as few door handles, table surfaces and chairs as possible
• Please note that the toilets may be temporarily closed
• Are you unsure about your health on the day of your appointment? Please contact us by phone before the planned time to discuss whether your appointment can take place.
• Bring your own (large) towel
• It is mandatory to wear a mouth mask in the waiting room and during treatment.
• Payment preferably takes place by card.
• We will, of course, not charge for canceled appointments due to health reasons

• We hope you understand that as a result of the current situation, your appointment may be later than you might've hoped

Our precautions:

• The MSK physician herself has no symptoms
• We do not shake hands upon entry and wear a white coat with short sleeves for protection and a mouth mask during the treatment
• We regularly clean and disinfect all (potentially) contaminated surfaces and areas where you may have been
• We ventilate the treatment room
