Covid 19 Alert Delta Level 2
At Alert Delta Level 2, health and disability services can operate normally, the Ministry of Health is still recommending that in the main Audiology clinics can provide many of their usual services.
Operating at Alert Delta Level 2, Audiology services will be implementing the following practices;
• Risk assessment and screening for potential COVID-19 infection of all people coming into clinics
• Good hygiene and infection control practices including use of PPE as deemed necessary (masks and gloves are recommended)
• Physical distancing – keeping people 1 – 2 metres apart
• Recording contact details of people visiting the clinic to support contact tracing if necessary
Screening prior to entering an Audiology clinic is an important infection control measure. If you are deemed to be a possible risk your clinician may ask you to postpone your appointment until the risk has passed. They may also suggest you contact your GP or Healthline for further information. If you develop any symptoms or feel unwell prior to attending your appointment, please contact the clinic. You may be asked to re-schedule.
Your clinician may wear some form of PPE – such as surgical masks and gloves. Your clinician will determine whether the use of masks and gloves is required based on their clinical assessment and the risk screening you completed prior to the appointment. The best evidence to date does not indicate that masks are required if there is no risk of COVID-19 and the procedure being undertaken does not require more than 15 minutes of close contact (closer than 1 metre). If you have any concerns, please feel free to discuss this with your clinician.
Masks may make communication a little more difficult. If your clinician is using a mask, please do not hesitate to ask your clinician to repeat and clarify anything you do not hear properly.
Contact tracing is one of the foundations of managing transmission of the COVID-19 virus and you can expect that you and any support person coming to the appointment with you will be asked to provide contact details to enable this to happen should it be necessary.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
