Don’t delay health care

If you need emergency or non-urgent care, the province urges patients to continue to seek treatment as emergency departments and family practices are still open.

If you need to see a doctor, the province advises to not postpone an appointment, but rather contact the clinic and ask about phone and video consultations.

Delaying visits for necessary care can have an impact on your health, the province said.
