CPL begins Covid-19 wellness package

Business

CITY Pharmacy Ltd (CPL) has introduced a corporate wellness pack for the Covid-19, founder Sir Mahesh Patel revealed.
The package include:

  • BLOOD pressure and heart rate checking;
  •  PULSE oximetry (oxygen level in the blood);
  •  TEMPERATURE check;
  •  CHEST auscultation (lung check); and,
  •  NASOPHARYNGEAL swab (Covid-19 rapid test) – test kit – PanbioTM Covid-19 Ag (nasopharyngeal) (Abbots Australia).
    Sir Mahesh said the idea was to lessen the burden on the public health system which was struggling to cope with increasing daily testing.
    He said the wellness check was recommended for employees with the Covid-19 symptoms.
    For the rapid test, a negative test required no further action while a positive test was when a polymerase chain reaction test was required.
    “The checks will be done in-house by CPL’s Dr Amuthan,” Sir Mahesh said.
    “The checks are done at the temporary clinic positioned in the car park far end, near the Big Rooster outlet.
    “Numbers are limited and appointments are required before testing.”
