Infusion clinic is it safe?

Hello I have a biologics Infusion coming up and am worried about being in the infusions clinic in the hospital. Nurses have said all treatment should happen as normal. Has anyone been to hospital to get their treatment? How does social distancing work in a room full of other infusion patients and nurses?

Thanks

Hi, I went for my infusion last week. Our clinic was moved from the main hospital to nearby Nuffield hospital - the chairs were well spaced out and the nurses had masks, aprons and gloves on. We weren't allowed inside the building without a temperature check, questions and hand gel.I'm sure they will take every precaution necessary for you too as it is important that we continue our treatment.🙂

Hello, I've been going for my infusions at an infusion clinic and there's usually only 4 or 5 people there two of which are nurses. They give u gloves and a mask at the door and have sanitizer. It's important not to miss an infusion.
