A Jimboomba GP says the region's patients are helping authorities win the battle against COVID-19.
Dev Kawol said strict measures in place at doctors' surgeries, and the implementation of telephone and video consultations were working, with a dash of common sense from patients and the community.
Dr Kawol, the principal GP at the Jimboomba Pharmacy Medical Centre, said his face-to-face patient numbers had been down as people took the threat seriously.
The practice implemented a screening process for patients to ensure they were free of COVID-19 symptoms before making a face-to-face appointment.
Medicare also introduced a system to bill telephone consultations, so practices like Jimboomba's were not losing income.
"In the past, we could not bill people for tele-health consultations. Now we can," Dr Kawol said.
He also praised the government for its messaging, telling patients who may be contagious not to go to a face-to-face appointment.
"I think the government has done good work telling people who have symptoms, don't come in," he said.
Dr Kawol's comments come as Labor MP Jim Chalmers urges people not to neglect their health and see their GP if need be.
"I appreciate that some people may be hesitant to take care of health concerns due to fears about coronavirus," he said. "That is completely understandable, but we can't have people neglecting their health and wellbeing. Many people in our community have medical issues that may be around for long after this virus outbreak subsided.
"It's vital that any new symptoms, or an existing chronic disease, or mental health issues are dealt with now and not left for weeks or months... GPs are here for you."
Since the outbreak began, millions have been pumped into bulk-billed telephone and online consultations to make it easier for Australians to meet with their GP.
"I have been contacted by a number of local seniors who are self-isolating to protect their health but who have needed to consult with their GP about new or existing health conditions," Mr Chalmers said.
Mr Chalmers warned people not to always believe what they saw on social media.
"In these anxious times some people, everyone from Donald Trump to an old acquaintance on Facebook, are spouting all sorts of unhelpful advice on social media about how to avoid coronavirus and how to treat it.
"Make sure you are taking your health advice from professionals and other trusted sources, like the Queensland and Federal Health departments, and your GP."
