A Note to Our CNP Clients

We are approaching the COVID-19 pandemic with an abundance of caution in line with the recommendations of health experts. We ask that you arrange for someone else to collect your equipment, if you have • any flu-like symptoms such as fever and cough, or • recently returned from travel overseas. When collecting equipment, we ask that you cooperate with ‘social distancing’ recommendations: • We will place equipment on a table for you to pick up: this will maintain social distancing • We will fill out the data sheet • We recommend that you collect a month’s supply of equipment (in case of any upcoming closures or supply delays) • If you can ring ahead, please do so in case any further changes have taken place. These measures are for YOUR safety as well as ours. Please respect the CNP workers so we can keep this service going!
