  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    Hopefully you will have spoken with your hospital team by now. There are protocols now in place for this, and they will guide you as to when to retest, to get a negative covid result. They will rebook your surgery date, as soon as is feasible. 

    Hopefully, they will be able to give you more information.

    Best wishes,
