What to do if you have tested positive for COVID-19

If you test positive for COVID-19, the Epsom Medical Centre team will be here to support you.

• If you or someone in your household has severe symptoms, call 111 immediately. Tell the operator that you or the unwell person has COVID-19.
• If you test positive for COVID-19 and are eligible for antiviral medication, we can arrange a nurse phone consultation for you. After the nurse consultation, a doctor will review your file, including any pre-existing conditions and medication interactions. If appropriate, the doctor will arrange for a prescription for antiviral medication to be sent to your pharmacy. The cost of the nurse consultation, including the review of your file and prescription, is $50.00.
• If you would like us to arrange the consultation for you, please email us info@epsommedicalcentre.co.nz with COVID Call in the subject line, and a member of the nursing team will contact you as soon as possible.
• To help you manage your symptoms, you can download and print this handy resource from Health Navigator about How to manage your Covid-19 symptoms.
