This means you’ll be contacted more quickly if you are at risk which will reduce the chances of you passing on the virus to your family, friends and other people in the community. https://www.health.gov.au/res/apps-and-tools/covidsafe-app

03.01.2022 The SARS-CoV-2 virus causes the illness called COVID-19. This pandemic requires people to modify their behaviour and hence reduce their risk of acquiring this infection.

02.01.2022 I am now using P2P Telehealth for video consultations on patients who do not need to be seen in person.

We can also include family members at remote sites in the consultation. https://p2ptelehealth.com.au/features Dr Cecily Forsyth
