COVID-19 protocols


SA Govt COVID-19 website

Following the recent changes to COVID-19 requirements, it is no longer essential to phone on arrival, provided you are free of COVID-19 like symptoms.

If you are free of COVID-19 symptoms, you are welcome to enter the premises and check in with reception staff, who will inform the clinician that you have arrived.

Although it is no longer mandatory to wear a mask, to assist with the wellbeing of our patients and staff, we encourage you to do so.  Please put on your mask correctly (covering mouth and nose).

All patients and visitors displaying any COVID-19 symptoms, as listed below, must phone reception staff on arrival.  We will be asking if you:

  • are symptomatic with flu-like symptoms, including cough, fever, sore throat, or breathing difficulties (including hay fever),
  • or have symptoms of diarrhoea, nausea, headaches, or loss of taste or smell,
  • are associated with any person who has a confirmed COVID-19 infection,
  • or have had a positive COVID-19 result in the previous 7 days.

If you are in any way symptomatic, we will request that you wait in your car for your doctor to attend you.

We appreciate your patience and will continue to provide the same warm and caring service that you are accustomed to.  Please help us care for our local community by keeping us informed of any symptoms you might be experiencing.

COVID-19 Vaccination

Vaccination plays an important role in protecting you and your family against COVID-19. For the latest recommendations and locations, see The Department of Health website. 

COVID-19 Coronavirus

SA Health recommends testing for anyone with COVID-19 symptoms, even if mild, including fever, chills, cough, sore throat, runny nose, shortness of breath, headache, myalgia, nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea, unexplained loss of smell or altered sense of taste.  For further information about when you should test, see the SA Health Testing page.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please ring Moana Medical centre on 8327 1570 for advice on the most appropriate assessment and testing options.

If you are 70 years or older, or immunocompromised, it is important to discuss oral treatments with your doctor before you get sick.  If you test positive, you should contact your GP as soon as possible for a prescription.

If you are a close contact it is important to have frequent rapid antigen testing to help identify an infection early.  If you develop COVID-19 symptoms at any time, you should get a PCR test and stay at home until you are well. For further information, see the SA Health Close Contacts Advice page.

Call 000 if you need urgent medical assistance.
For further information phone the Coronavirus Helpline ph: 1800 020 080.

If you are worried but well, contact the South Australian COVID Information Line on 1800 253 787.

SA Health provides regular updates on COVID-19.
For more information on vaccinations or if you are a close contact or unwell, visit SA Health’s Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) webpage.
