25.01.2022 This is our WA COVID-19 update for Tuesday 7 April 2020. Our regular public updates include up-to-date information, current advice and tips on how to better pro...tect yourself. It is important people are well informed on the virus, so as new information or advice becomes available we will share it. ---- - Current cases - With around 500 additional tests completed since yesterday's update, there have been 10 additional WA cases of COVID-19 detected. That brings WA's total confirmed cases to 470. Seven of today's cases are related to cruise ships (the Costa Luminosa and the Costa Victoria), or overseas travel and one is a close contact of a confirmed case. Two cases are still being investigated. Of these confirmed cases nine are from metropolitan Perth and one is from the Kimberley. As with all new confirmed cases, contact tracing is underway and all cases are self-isolating. The Department of Health has also confirmed two more COVID-19 related deaths in Western Australia. A man in his 70s, who was a passenger from the cruise ship Artania, has died at Joondalup Health Campus and a Western Australian woman in her 70s, who had returned from overseas travel, has died in Royal Perth Hospital. WA now has over 170 recovered cases. To date, 18,731 Western Australians have tested negative for COVID-19. Of these 3,787 are from regional WA. ---- - Testing The testing criteria for COVID-19 has been expanded significantly at all COVID-19 clinics. General Public Testing: Any person presenting with BOTH a fever (38C) AND an acute respiratory infection (e.g. shortness of breath, cough, sore throat) will be tested. High-Risk Settings: Anyone working within a high-risk setting that presents with EITHER a fever (38C) OR an acute respiratory infection will be tested. This includes healthcare workers (including aged care and disability workers) and Western Australian Police Officers. This also applies to anyone in the Kimberley. Testing will also be arranged for anyone from the following high-risk settings where two or more people are experiencing EITHER a fever (38C) OR an acute respiratory infection: - aged and residential care; - rural and remote Aboriginal communities; - detention centres; - correctional facilities; - boarding schools; - military barracks or equivalent; - geographically localised areas with increased risk of community transmission; and - cruise ship passengers or returned travellers (international and domestic). These changes follow the advice given by the WA Chief Health Officer will help find new individual cases and if there is community transmission of COVID-19. ---- - COVID clinics - An additional, dedicated COVID clinic will open at Broome Hospital on Wednesday. The clinic will operate from 8.30am-4pm, seven days a week and will be staffed by clinicians and administrative teams following strict infection control measures. Anybody with either a fever of or above 38 degrees OR an acute respiratory infection should present for testing as soon as possible. In other Kimberley communities, those requiring testing are able to attend any WA Country Health Service hospital or health service or clinics operated by Aboriginal Medical Services or the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Seven COVID clinics are now operational in the Perth metropolitan region - all metropolitan area COVID clinics are operational between the hours of 8am-8pm, 7 days a week. The clinics now open are based: Royal Perth Hospital (Ground Floor, Ainslie House, 48 Murray Street) Fiona Stanley Hospital (Allied Health 2, Gymnasiums, East End, Bedbrook Row) Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital (C Block, Hospital Avenue) Armadale Health Service (Ground Floor, 3056 Albany Highway, Mount Nasura) Rockingham General Hospital (Elanora Drive, Cooloongup) Midland COVID Clinic: Front of St John of God Midland Hospital (access only via Yelverton Drive) Joondalup COVID Clinic: Ground floor Joondalup Hospital (Car park P4, Regents Park Road - Enter via outside walkway between Specialist Medical West and Physiotherapy Department) Additionally, a COVID-19 clinic is operating in Bunbury and is open from 10am - 4pm every day. It is based at the Bunbury Health Campus (Corner Bussell Highway And Robertson Drive). In other regional areas, people should go to a public hospital, health service or remote health clinic. Please call ahead if you are concerned that you have contracted COVID-19. Patients at COVID-19 clinics are required to bring proof of recent travel or identify the confirmed case they have been in contact with. Patients will be screened and where appropriate tested, provided with appropriate information and referred for further medical treatment if necessary. If people do not meet the criteria they will not be tested. Those individuals who are tested and well enough, will be asked to self-isolate while they await test results. Anyone who is confirmed to have COVID-19, who does not require hospitalisation will be required to stay in self-isolation as instructed by the public health team. It is also extremely important that people who are unwell and are concerned they have COVID-19 should immediately self-isolate and then seek further medical advice. ---- - Closure of the WA border - Western Australia's borders are now closed to travel from interstate. An exempt traveller, who will be allowed into our State, must perform one of the following functions: - Health services - Emergency services - Transport, freight and logistics - Specialists skills, not available in WA, for industry or business continuity; - National or State security and governance; and - Courts and judicial services; There are also exemptions for FIFO workers and their families, however strict 14-day quarantine measures will need to be followed, when they first enter the State. Further exemptions will also apply on compassionate grounds. In addition, Western Australians who are already in quarantine for 14 days in the eastern states, will be allowed back to WA if they show no symptoms of COVID-19. They will need to return to WA within 24 hours of completing their period of quarantine, and then immediately self-quarantine for a further 14 days at their home. More information and a list of exemptions can be found at www.wa.gov.au/covid19 Additional, stricter directions apply to those coming to WA via the Kimberley, to protect people living in remote Aboriginal communities. Western Australians who are aware of someone breaching a requirement to self-isolate - please contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or WA Police on 131 444. ---- - Restrictions on travel within Western Australia Restrictions over travel between regions within Western Australia are now in effect. All non-essential travel within Western Australia must now stop. Unless you fit an exempt category, you will now not be able to leave whatever region of Western Australia you live in. To be clear, those regions are: the Kimberley, Pilbara, Gascoyne, Mid-West, Goldfields-Esperance, Wheatbelt, Great Southern and South West. Due to their proximity and interconnected nature, Perth and Peel will be treated as one region. The exempt categories include: travel for work purposes; to attend medical appointments; to transport freight; those who do not have access to groceries or supplies within their region; returning to a place of residence; where necessary to attend school or an educational institution; caring for family members; and approved compassionate grounds. Western Australians that are currently outside of their region and are able to return, should do so immediately. The construction and freight industries, in particular, will continue to operate despite these new measures. Check points and mobile police patrols will be in place to monitor travel across boundaries and ensure people are doing the right thing. If your need to travel fits one of the exempt categories, please assist police by preparing documentation, such as a letter/email/SMS from an employer, to support your legitimate travel. ---- - Additional restrictions on travel for the Kimberley - New measures have been announced to stop the spread of COVID-19 to the Kimberley region. Travel restrictions are already in place in the Kimberley region, but due to the seriousness of the situation, additional stronger measures are needed to stop the movement of people between towns or local government areas. New boundaries, in line with the four local government areas (Shire of Broome, Derby West Kimberley, Wyndham East Kimberley, Halls creek) within the Kimberley region are now in place. People must stay in their local government area. The existing exemptions apply, such as provision of essential services or supplies, medical reasons or residents returning to their home. Residents who need to cross a regional boundary to return to their home, must self-isolate for 14 days. Kimberley residents are urged to stay home and cease all non-essential travel and activity. Indoor or outdoor activities of more than two people should be avoided, unless exempted. Anyone displaying symptoms should contact their local health facility immediately. ---- - Additional restrictions on travel for the Goldfields-Esperance- A new restriction on intrastate travel applies for Esperance. Unless for essential purposes, no visits to Esperance will be permitted. This is designed to stop the holiday flood, particularly from Kalgoorlie, over the Easter period and beyond, and has been implemented in conjunction with the local council. ---- We are preparing and taking every precaution to protect Western Australia from COVID-19. The Western Australian health system and our hospitals are very well prepared to manage infectious disease situations and have well established systems and processes in place. The WA Governments Pandemic Plan has been updated to respond to COVID-19, and is publicly available. You can see the plan for yourself at https://www.wa.gov.au/covid19 under WA Government Response. The State Government is taking this very seriously and we need to be prepared for a pandemic. Every action we take and decision we make is to protect Western Australians. We have already taken action with a suite of measures to prepare the State for the possibility of a pandemic. It is important that we all continue to remain calm and use common sense. The best thing we can do to protect ourselves is quality personal hygiene and exercise social distancing by avoiding unnecessary personal contact. That includes covering coughs and sneezes, washing hands often with soap or sanitiser, staying home from work or school if unwell, avoiding shaking hands or hugging, and maintaining distance from others in public. Please also continue to follow the advice of authorities and doctors - anyone who is instructed to self-isolate must take the order seriously, stay home and not put others at risk. This means you dont leave your property, you dont go to work or school, you dont go on outings and you dont have visitors - only leave the house to seek medical attention. ---- Official information regarding COVID-19 in Western Australia - www.wa.gov.au/covid19 WA Department of Health information www.healthywa.wa.gov.au/coronavirus Coronavirus information hotline 1800 020 080 Smartraveller information regarding travel advice for Australians - www.smartraveller.gov.au

06.01.2022 Dear friends, family and customers of Albany. We want you all to know how much we appreciate your patience and understanding at this time. We understand youre anxious and concerned, we are too. But please know, that at every level we are doing everything in our power to service all of your prescription and non-prescription pharmacy needs. We have seen the good and the bad in the pharmacy this week. Unfortunately today in particular we experienced some of the bad, when a cus...tomer to whom we were unable to provide a pharmacy product due to stock shortage elected to remove stock from our shelves and attempted to assault one of our pharmacists with it, missing her but injuring another customer in the process. This, regardless of the circumstances is not and never will be acceptable. We are all better than this. A huge thank you to our team and the other customers in store today who helped with this situation, you are absolute heroes. We are the front line and our commitment to serving our community is limited only by the limitations facing all pharmacies and retailers nationwide. Thank you for your continued patience it is very much appreciated.

06.01.2022 Due to increased demand, please expect increased waiting times for your prescriptions and increased medication shortages. We ask that you please be patient with our staff as we are doing everything in our power to meet demands. We thank you for your support and cooperation during these stressful times.

04.01.2022 Thank you to everyone who applied for the Casual Position at Amcal Max Albany, applications are now closed but if you are serious about applying for this position, please bring your resume in store.

04.01.2022 CORONAVIRUS UPDATE ------------------------------------------------------- Dear Albany,... In our continuing effort to protect staff and the community we will be splitting our team into two separate teams who will work completely independently of one another, with zero contact between the two teams. This will ensure that, in the event that a member of one team is exposed to Covid-19 and that entire team is required to self-isolate we will have a second team to step in and take over, keeping the pharmacy open, preventing any disruption to the operation of the pharmacy. Implementing this change will require that we reduce our trading hours. Effective from Monday the 6th of April, Amcal Max Albany will close at 7pm, rather than our usual 9pm. We will continue to trade every day of the week, including public holidays. This change will remain in place until we are advised that it is safe to return to a single-team model. Further, this change will require that the number of staff working at any given time is reduced. Please understand, this will have some impact on service times. Where possible, call ahead of time and/or utilise our home delivery service. Lets stay safe, healthy and Coronavirus-Free in the Great Southern!
