Kaipara Medical Centre is also providing free COVID-19 tests for our enrolled patients.

Please call us on 09 420 8400 and we will organise this for you. Our phones are busy, so there may be a wait, but please do hold on the line and we will answer as soon as we can.

Remember if you have a COVID test please isolate until you get the results; this is very important.

We are planning to have face to face appointments from Tuesday 2 February 2021, however this will depend on what happens over the long weekend. We will text patients who have face to face bookings for Tuesday 2 February if the situation changes. These texts will be early Tuesday morning. If you would prefer to have a phone consultation please ring and let us know, we are very happy to change your appointment to a phone consultation.

If you develop symptoms or become unwell, seek medical help but phone ahead first. You can also phone Healthline on 0800 358 5453, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 

A reminder also of the symptoms of COVID-19: 

• New or worsening cough
• Fever
• Sore throat
• Temporary loss of smell
• Difficulty breathing
• Runny nose.

If you have any of those symptoms please have a test immediately and self-isolate until you receive a negative test. 

Thank you for your patience at this time and please look after one another, 

Ngā mihi nui, 

The Kaipara Medical Centre team.
