Today was my clinic's first full day of being open since the announcement of the pandemic and quarantine. Our C suite is going by the most recent CDC guidelines (as they're updated) and we will be open normal hours. Anyone with direct patient contact is expected to be at work. They are waiving attendance and leave reprimands until further notice.
We aren't rescheduling patients for regular checkups but all groups of 10 or more have been cancelled. If patients are calling and they are sick, they are triaged on the phone for directions. We're supposed to get the nasal test this week but our on site lab will be doing it. Our major concern is that we may run out of PPE because our supplier has but a quantity and time limit on orders. So we are only able to order masks every 18-21 days and we can only order 2 boxes. They're locked up with our clinic manger as patients were stealing them. The hand sanitizer is mounted to the wall so they can't take that.
I honestly am not in full panic mode just yet but I am taking it seriously.
I've set up a disrobing station at my door so I can take off my scrubs as soon as I get in the house. We've been stock up on Lysol and bleach for months from when I used to coupon. Mint keeps telling me I went over budget on groceries and I'm like, I know already.
