Acute and elective surgical services are still being performed in public and private hospitals, although some states and territories are operating at reduced capacity for elective or non-urgent surgery.
Protocols around COVID-19 testing and self-isolation prior to surgery are also currently being determined by state governments, so advice may differ depending on your location.
If you have a surgery or procedure scheduled, ask your medical team what the processes are around COVID-19 testing and self-isolation prior to the day.
