- Try not to touch anything in the waiting and consultation room.
- Contactless payment is preferred.
- And don’t forget to wash your hands often and properly.
Please keep in mind that these recommendations do not apply to all regions at all times as the situation is constantly changing, depending on the epidemiological risk in the area. We encourage you to keep up to date with the advice from your government and local veterinary authority.

ReplyI appreciate that this post underlined that it is still possible to visit the veterinary clinic during the pandemic. However, I do agree that we should take safety precautions such as washing our hands and maintaining physical distancing. Perhaps pet owners can make a point to call the clinic and ask about their Covid-19 policy.
