And then, it disappeared, like nothing ever happened…

And so, sometime in the summer of 2024, all of the restrictions, warnings, and commandments of the regulatory bodies regarding the global pandemic known as COVID-19 disappeared. There was no fanfare, there were no emails, it just quietly left the regulators website.

But yet, Covid is still around, and people are still falling ill from it. Influenza happens every year. Other infectious respiratory viruses like the common cold will forever be circulating.

As such, even though there are no longer mandated regulations regarding screening patients for respiratory viruses, common sense should prevail. If you have signs of a respiratory virus such as a new-onset cough, non-allergic sneezing, runny nose, etc., please contact the office and reschedule your appointment for a later date. While it may interfere with your schedule, we also do not want to compromise the health of the vulnerable in our practice.

As well, for your personal comfort and for the benefit of others attending the clinic, should you have an active outbreak of herpetic lesions such as symptomatic cold sores, it would probably be best to reschedule your appointment.

While we do understand that these situations can occur overnight, should you be feeling ill, it would be sincerely appreciated if you would give the office as much notice of your need to reschedule.

Thank you for your understanding and support in this matter.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to discuss them with us.

With warmest regards,

Dr. David Rushka & team
