Keep away, be hygienic, as little direct social contact as possible. Everyone can pay attention to that.

Do not go to doctor’s offices if you suspect coronavirus

The Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Hamburg (KVH) urgently warns against visiting doctor’s offices if there are suspicions of corona. “If the following information is not followed, there is a risk that the treatment of patients with other diseases will be endangered,” says Walter Plassmann, Chairman of the KVH, “It is therefore imperative that everyone follows the following rules.”

Patients who come from a risk area or have had contact with a person who has tested positive for the corona virus and who have had cold symptoms should contact the family doctor or call Hamburg (116117). Everything else is done from there. Under no circumstances should a practice, an emergency practice or a hospital be visited.

“We can only maintain the functionality of the outpatient health system if we all adhere to these rules,” KV Plassmann appeals to the population. Under certain circumstances, a single corona patient who goes to the practice unannounced could cause the practice to close. “We have to remember that the vast majority of patients have problems other than corona and need to be cared for,” explains Plassmann, “which is why practices should not be endangered by careless behavior.”

Mücke hopes for quick and clear concepts and for a uniform approach of all federal states. “If a company gets into a crisis, all departments must master this crisis together,” emphasizes André Mücke.
