维多利亚州新发现75例COVID-19（冠状病毒）病例：CBD Doctors Melbourne新冠检测
维多利亚州的75例新的冠状病毒病例是自3月下旬达到峰值以来的最大增幅。 墨尔本人需要做更多的事情，以防止再次发生封锁。这样才能尽快恢复正常生活，够再次社交，跨州旅行，探望朋友和家人。 墨尔本热点地区： 有证据表明我们犯了一些错误： 我们忽略了生病时呆在家里的建议； 我们仍去参加了建议不要去的社交聚会； 我们忽略了社会距离。 让我们试着改善数字。 请考虑戴口罩：Brett Sutton教授说：“很明显，戴口罩可能会使您和其他看到您戴着口罩的人的身体距离更远一些。” 待在家里：如果您有以下任何症状：喉咙痛，流鼻涕，咳嗽，发烧或呼吸急促—请待在家里，并接受COVID-19的测试。在结果出来之前，请勿外出。 做检测：COVID-19测试站点 COVID-19呼吸诊所 专门的病理中心（您需要医生的推荐信） 大医院 大型购物中心的驾车检测中心 一些诊所 热点地区的移动检测车 https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/getting-tested-coronavirus-covid-19 我们可以做什么： 在我们CBD Doctors Melbourne，我们在严格的感染控制准则下提供测试，使我们的员工和其他患者接触任何潜在感染源的风险降至最低。 我们提供驾车检测和步行前往检测。 如果您住在墨尔本的中央商务区或周围的郊区，并且您认为我们可以提供帮助，请进行电话预约. 请注意：测试COVID-19的等待时间很短，无需排队。 从测试到拿到检测结果的时间一般在1-3天之间。但偶尔可能会晚几天，这是由于墨尔本地区在进行广泛测试，有时接受测试的患者人数众多。CBD Doctors Melbourne将把采集的样本送到病理中心进行检测，病理服务不在CBD Doctors Melbourne內进行。 https://www.cbddoctorsmelbourne.com.au/ 李宛霖 护士 CBD Doctors Melbourne
