In two weeks, I have two tests to take at the hospital: the diabetes test and a blood test because I will be 26 weeks pregnant. How do I proceed with COVID?

Question

How can I best prepare myself to go to this meeting considering that there will be many people waiting? Is there any other way to do the tests or should I protect myself as much as possible by putting on a mask? Because I don't think I can not go to these tests given the importance of them. I am writing to you for the process since there is the COVID-19 virus circulating

Hello Ma'am, Given recent developments on the COVID side, we may well be able to shift your next blood draw a bit. Indeed, it is possible to do certain tests at relatively flexible intervals (including the diabetes test). In this case, I would therefore recommend that you contact your pregnancy monitoring medical clinic to validate this. If the blood test cannot be delayed, you should know that a nurse could be arranged to come by the house, in some cases (to be discussed with the doctor as well). Happy day, Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
