Should a second wave of coronavirus hit, the clinic is prepared.

Dr Jacob told the Daily Liberal of the clinic's ability to treat more patients.

"We have a cohort of nine GPs and four nurses working at the clinic," he said.

"We have one doctor and two nurses working daily but we can scale up the clinic with demand."

The federal government has contracted Dubbo Medical and Allied Health Group to run the clinic which opens from Monday to Friday.

It is among 100 being established by GPs across Australia with federal funding.

In the lead-up to the Dubbo clinic opening on May 4, Minister for Regional Health and Member for Parkes Mark Coulton declared it would operate for "as long as it is needed".

Dr Jacob said the clinic was for "all patients" suffering with mild-to-moderate respiratory symptoms such as a runny nose, cough, breathlessness, tiredness or fever.

"All patients are assessed, swabbed and treated," he said.

"There is no cost to patients and is available for medicare cardholders and overseas citizens."

Dr Jacob said patients were being swabbed "from the back of the throat and both nostrils" by clinicians trained to do so.

"We have swabbed over 400 patients for COVID but also for other respiratory viral illnesses," he said.

"None were positive for COVID.

"One in 10 have adenovirus and rhinovirus."

The lead clinician told of people of "all demographics" being assessed.

"We have seen patients from four months old to 85 years of age," he said.

The clinic has strict safety protocols in place which require patients to make appointments.

Dr Jacob said appointments could be made by either calling 02 68159900 or searching for Dubbo Respiratory Clinic at hotdoc.com.au .

"On arriving to the clinic, the patient would call the nurse on a given mobile number," he said.

"The patient would remain in the vehicle until called upon for their appointment.

"The patient is asked to present to the door, use the hand sanitiser provided and given a face mask.

"The patient is escorted in, assessed, swabbed and treated by the clinician."

Dr Jacob said the clinic's staff wore PPE (personal protective equipment) including gowns, gloves and masks.

"The PPE is changed with every patient seen and the room sanitised between patient contacts," he said.

The clinic seeks to keep people with acute respiratory symptoms away from the patients and staff of other GP practices, and alleviate pressure on emergency services.

"It is set up to allow general practices to continue with family medicine and preventative care and also to protect our workforce," Dr Jacob said.
