COVID Safety Measures
Across Canada we have taken extraordinary measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19. For Wellington Ortho & Rehab, that meant closing our general “in person” physio and massage for a period of time, offering Telerehab for physiotherapy and establishing safety protocols in accordance with public health guidelines upon re-opening.
Safety Guidelines
Reduce the risk
The COVID-19 battle has not ended even though many health & workplace safety issues are being lifted.
While many are prepared for next steps, many are not. Please continue to treat others with empathy and kindness as we move forward to living with COVID-19.
We ask you to please read through the safety guidelines we ask of you as patients of the clinic (or of the physician offices within) to reduce the risk of COVID transmission.
