Australians, particularly those with chronic illnesses, are being urged to continue their regular health check-ups amid coronavirus pandemic.
The fear of contracting coronavirus is stopping many people from visiting doctors' clinics and pathology centres.
But health authorities are pleading for those with chronic conditions to continue receiving their regular health check-ups and pathology tests.
People in Australia must stay at least 1.5 metres away from others and gatherings are limited to two people unless you are with your family or household.
If you believe you may have contracted the virus, call your doctor (don’t visit) or contact the national Coronavirus Health Information Hotline on 1800 020 080. If you are struggling to breathe or experiencing a medical emergency, call 000.
