This weekend, many physicians will be tempted to read through the material released from the PHO, College of Physicians and Surgeons, WorkSafeBC and BCCDC on Friday and put together a 100-step plan to re-open your offices—some of you may even try to get it all done by Tuesday morning.
Let us take this off your plate. This week, Doctors of BC will be sending physicians one document that integrates all the guidelines, including the COVID-19 Safety Plan elements required by WorkSafeBC. It will contain specific advice and templates to assist with PPE guidance, cleaning regimens, scripts for screening patients, and more.
A reminder that there is no requirement to re-open offices by Tuesday. Next week, most physicians will be practicing the same way they have the last few months. Let us take care of this work so that you can enjoy a much-needed break over the long weekend.
