COVID-19 An Urgent Care perspective - with Dr Richard Chen and Dr Kelvin Ward

Dr Richard Chen is a UC physician who has worked with the Ministry of Health on the Wuhan and Diamond Princess COVID-19 quarantine.  Dr Kelvin Ward is a UC physician and clinic Medical Director in Wellington.  Both are working on the front line of this rapidly evolving pandemic.

Today we chat about how this virus is impacting UC.  We are not infectious disease specialists and we are not public health experts, but as Urgent Care specialists we have experiences and concerns that need to be discussed.  This podcast was recorded at 0900 on the 20th March 2020 - information discussed is likely to change quickly.
