Dear Member / clinic owner,
|
The number of new cases appears to be levelling off or falling, and the day-on-day percent increase in total (cumulative) cases has fallen from 55% on March 24th to 6.3% today, despite an increase in testing over that time, and is so far tracking the fall off in new cases seen in Hubei after their lockdown.
|
We’re hopeful of a continued decline as our lockdown continues, but mindful of the need to prepare for the worst.
|
The College and individual members continue to press for tighter measures to prevent the spread and import of Covid-19 and increased recognition and support of urgent care clinics in countering the pandemic.

Financial support for urgent care clinics
The Deputy Director General of Health (5/4/20) thanked UCCs for their contribution and will be advising Ministers on a ‘broad funding package’ this week, including UCCs.
