And they have one simple message for the rest of the community - do your bit also and stay at home.

While this is extremely important to stop the spread of the virus, it's also important that you continue to get the medical help you need.

This has been made easier to do from the comfort of your home, with access to Telehealth appointments via video or over the phone.

Doctor Tammy Kimpton from Scone Medical Practice said staff would like to commend the efforts of the local community in their practice of social distancing so far.

"It has been pleasing to see early indications of a flattening of the curve, and we hope that the trend continues," she said.

"We all need to continue with our social distancing efforts, and as much as possible, we encourage you all to stay at home."

Despite the current challenges, Scone Medical Practice's doors remain open, and they are continuing to offer comprehensive medical care.

"We really want to make sure that people understand we are still providing the full range of services here," Dr Kimpton said.

"We don't want people to put off coming in if they're unwell.

"Wherever possible, we are offering Telehealth appointments in the first instance.

"Your doctor will advise you either over the phone or via a video consultation whether or not you may need to attend for a physical check or examination."

The restrictions on the utilisation on Telehealth have been removed, so everyone who has access to a Medicare card has access to a bulk bill Telehealth service at this point in time.

"People are doing very well, we've easily transitioned around 80 per cent of our appointments over to a telephone call in the first instance," Dr Kimpton said.

"People are quite keen to do that because it means that they can stay at home and stay away from potentially at risk areas.

"Our concern is that people may be unwell and thinking they can't access help, so we actually do want people to ring the practice during business hours if they're feeling unwell."

While COVID-19 may be dominating headlines, the message over the next six months is that people still need to be staying on top of the rest of their health management.

"People are still going to have problems with their heart that needs to be looked at, as well as other lung diseases so we need people to understand we are definitely providing all of those services," Dr Kimpton added.

The practice is also offering childhood immunisation clinics and are now starting to book influenza vaccination clinics, by appointment only.

To help protect the community, they are holding these off site and ask that people please call to make an appointment time and do not attend if you are unwell.

As we approach the flu season, the advice from the professionals is to get in and get your flu vaccination quickly.

But Dr Kimpton said the other part of the key message is that the vaccines are supplied to the government and the practice has no control over the speed in which the government delivers them.

"We've already utilised our first delivery and we have no idea when the next one is going to arrive, but we are now taking a list of names and as vaccines arrive we will book people into clinics," Dr Kimpton said.

So, the key message is continue the good work in relation to stopping the spread of the virus and if you need medical help, don't hesitate to call and get it.

"We know that if people come in early with their medical problems they're less likely to be presenting to hospital, so we want to take as much of that strain off the hospital system as we can by continuing to do everything we've always done," Dr Kimpton concluded.
