How does COVID-19 affect my care?

Services affected

West Moreton Health balances the need to care for patients with acute respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19, with the delivery of acute and emergency services as well as community services that help keep people well and out of hospital.

How will my pregnancy, birthing and baby be affected?
