That college recommends physiotherapists only treat patients in person when the benefits outweigh the risk of potential exposure to disease. The Alberta College of Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists hopes to have its guidelines ready within a couple of days, registrar Michael Neth said Friday.

Hinshaw said Alberta Health will be sending more information to the colleges soon on how they can reduce risks during the pandemic.
