One of the most important drives at IVI has always been to achieve healthy babies and, in addition to the already strict safety and control protocols, we are going to add <strong>all the relevant safety measures recommended to minimize the risks of infection<\/strong>. Therefore, if you are a patient, <strong>before coming to the <\/strong><em><strong>clinic<\/strong><\/em><strong>, you should comply with the following<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do not come to the clinic if you have or have had a <strong>fever, cough, respiratory symptoms or a sudden absence of smell or taste in the past 14 days<\/strong>, and please tell your doctor. From the clinic we will be in contact with you to follow your evolution and provide you with a new appointment as soon as possible.<\/li>\n<li>Do not come for an appointment if you have been in contact with someone with a diagnosis or<strong> suspicion of COVID<\/strong> in the last 14 days, and please tell your doctor.<\/li>\n<li>Whenever possible, <strong>go unaccompanied<\/strong>, unless you have been instructed otherwise.<\/li>\n<li>Be on time, but try to stick to your appointment time so you do not stay in the clinic longer than necessary.<\/li>\n<li>Come wearing a mask or other type of facial covering.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once at the clinic:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The patient&#8217;s <strong>temperature will be taken<\/strong> and, if the patient has a temperature over 37.8 degrees, the appointment will be rescheduled.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Masks<\/strong> will be provided to patients if they do not have them, they will be asked to dispose of gloves if they have brought them from outside, <strong>doses of disinfectant gel will be provided<\/strong>, and they will be reminded of safety distances, which will be indicated in all areas of the clinic, among others.<\/li>\n<li><strong>We would kindly ask that you make all your payments by card, through the gateway payments or by bank transfer to avoid handling cash<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Will I be tested for COVID-19?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In addition to the prevention measures mentioned above, <strong>all patients will undergo serological tests at the start of the treatment to determine their immunological status regarding the Coronavirus<\/strong>, to find out whether they have antibodies to COVID-19 or not, that is whether they have had the disease. <strong>And before any puncture, insemination or embryo transfer, a PCR test will be carried out, taking a nasopharyngeal sample, to avoid any risk of infection<\/strong> during the procedure and to check that the patient is not infected prior to all the actions described.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Telemedicine, a reality in our clinics<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>All of you who wished to have your <strong>first visits<\/strong> <strong>online<\/strong> throughout the confinement were able to do so without any inconvenience, our <strong>fertility specialists<\/strong> were there to serve you.
