The companion animal Ontario Animal Health Network has produced a series of mini-podcasts on COVID-19 precautions in veterinary clinics, featuring none other than Dr. Scott Weese. Each mini-podcast features a quick 3-5 minute “lighting round” on common questions and topics – bite-sized bits for busy practitioners and clinic staff who may only have a few minutes to spare these days. Current topics include:
- Avoid the 3 Cs: Crowding, close contact, confined spaces
- Rethinking clinic spaces: The end of the waiting room and more
- Masks and the trouble with bubbles
- Patients and procedures that warrant extra precautions
- Don’t panic! Talking to clients about SARS-CoV-2 risk to and from pets
- Staying safe with the swiss cheese approach
- What’s on your face? The why, when and what of masks and face shields
If you have a COVID-19 related question about which you’d like to hear a podcast or mini-podcast, you can email OAHN at oahn@uoguelph.ca. Also check out the OAHN COVID-19 resources page for veterinarians. Stay safe!
