A foundation doctor calls the occupational health service for advice. She reports that 5 days ago she clerked a patient in A&E who has now been found to have pneumococcal meningitis. She is very concerned as she remembers that the patient sneezed on her a few times after she performed their Covid swab. The doctor is well and has no significant health conditions.
