COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS)
AND THE KERRY SKIN CLINIC
We are still seeing patients with troublesome skin, hair and nail problems in the Kerry Skin Clinic.
We do not see people with Coronavirus or those suspected of having the Coronavirus in the clinic. These patients are being managed in their own homes.
All patients who are phoning to make an appointment will be asked the following 3 questions:
1. Do you have a runny nose, sore throat, or cough? (e.g. new cough or worsening of existing cough in the last 2 weeks)
or
2. Do you have a fever? (e.g. temperature > 38°C taken with a thermometer)
or
3. Have you had close contact with a known or suspected case of Covid19?
If yes to any of these questions, please do not come to the Kerry Skin Clinic. Please phone your GP for further advice.
Everyone else is welcome to phone 066 7174066 or e-mail: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to arrange an appointment at a mutually convenient time. The front door is closed so you cannot come into the clinic unless you have an appointment.
Dermatology and allergy patients will be asked to wait in a private waiting area or you can wait in your car and will only be called in once the doctor is ready to see you.
Be assured, we are not seeing patients with suspected Coronavirus in our clinic.
