Social distancing is the key to slowing the spread of the coronavirus. The message that our elected representatives have been hammering home since March has been heard, and our collective efforts paid off during the first wave. In this new period of confinement, here is our advice to ensure everyone’s safety.
Adapting together
We’ve come a long way since the start of this global pandemic of COVID-19! Although health rules vary from country to country, experts agree that limiting our contacts, washing our hands assiduously and wearing face coverings are the essential habits to adopt.
It should be remembered that coronavirus is often transmitted even before a diagnosis is made; each person who does not feel the symptoms can in turn infect four other people if protective measures are not followed.
As the new measures become part of our daily lives, businesses are constantly adapting. Think of shops, which are following suit by offering a contactless pick-up service.
A question of health
And there are those who have had to adapt very quickly, and continue to do so as the situation evolves: our essential service providers, such as pharmacists and their partners.
The pandemic has brought its share of challenges for the healthcare sector, considerably changing the way things are done. For the safety of customers and workers, distancing markers and hydroalcoholic gel are available in branches, as are rigorous surface disinfection protocols.
Behind their Plexiglas screens, masks on their faces, the teams are at the front, guiding and serving their patients, including those with symptoms compatible with a coronavirus infection. And safety comes first!
In these unique times, we are also prioritising the electronic transmission of prescriptions, carrying out virtual pharmaceutical consultations and even validating prescriptions remotely.
Let’s stay home!
To limit the spread of the coronavirus, this is the right thing to do.
With its contactless delivery service, whether at the pharmacy or at home, the Vaistat mobile application complies with the prescribed prevention measures. And it continues to adapt: for your security, the proxy signature was lifted during the pandemic. The delivery person now confirms delivery by means of a photo.
