The hospital is asking children who are showing symptoms of illness to refrain from attending non-emergency clinic appointments as they can be re-booked.
BC Children’s Hospital has clarified its guidelines for advising patients to stay at home should they be feeling ill, following a tweet published Monday that stirred confusion on the social media platform.
Some confusion became apparent following the hospital’s tweet that stated: “Not feeling great? Your appointment can wait. If you or your child are coming to one of our clinics but are feeling sick, please call & rebook your appointment for when you are well. Thanks for helping keep our patients and staff safe & healthy.”
“For appointments within our outpatient clinics, such a physiotherapy visit or a hearing test, we recommend re-booking appointments if parents or children are feeling unwell with new respiratory symptoms. They can call the clinic they have the appointment with and describe their symptoms. A doctor or nurse will provide guidance,” clarified Bell.
