24.01.2022 BEEN RAINING? LOOK OUT FOR FUNNEL WEB SPIDERS Funnel web spiders are a big black spider which like to burrow under rocks, around rotting logs and are often liv...ing hidden away in gardens. Heavy rain often washes FWS out of their hiding places so always be on the alert especially when gardening or digging. The funnel web spider in this photo was found recently in my backyard in Sydney! FWS have a very poisonous and fast-acting venom and quick action can be life-saving. If anyone is bitten by a big black spider always call 000 immediately. Apply a pressure immobilisation bandage to the affected limb and stay still until the ambulance arrives. Call the Poisons Centre on 131126 for further advice or information. #poisonsinfo #funnelwebspiders #bigblackspiders See more

21.01.2022 Don’t get duped by scammers who set up fake websites or falsely advertise products on a genuine retailer websites or on social media. In 2018, over a third of A...ustralian households shopped online. Many fraudulent sellers offer luxury items such as popular brands of clothing, jewellery and electronics at very low prices. Remember, if it’s too good to be true, it’s probably a scam. If you do shop online, only use secure payment methods such as credit cards or PayPal. Avoid wire or bank transfers and money orders. #ScamsWeek2020 See more

15.01.2022 Today is Restart a Heart Day. If you believe someone has suffered a cardiac arrest, take immediate action: - Call Triple Zero (000) for an ambulance - Start CP...R by pushing hard and fast in the centre of the chest - Shock using a defibrillator as soon as possible to restart the heart, if one is available. Signs of a cardiac arrest are present when a person is: - unconscious - unresponsive - has no pulse - has absent or abnormal breathing. A cardiac arrest is different to a heart attack where a person is awake and has symptoms such as pain in the chest, difficulty breathing, nausea or feeling light-headed. For more information on cardiac arrest and using a defibrillator visit: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/cardiacarrest//consumers.aspx

15.01.2022 - PUBLIC HEALTH ALERT - NEW COVID-19 CASES IN NEWCASTLE (Updated at 11.05am, 6 August) Since our alert last night (5 August, 8.15pm), a second case of COVID-19 ...has been confirmed in Newcastle; a close contact of the teenager announced yesterday. The District is continuing to investigate the source of that case’s infection. This latest case is a male in his 20s. Hunter New England Local Health District is urging anyone who attended the following venues at the specified times to immediately self-isolate and seek testing: - Bennett Hotel, Hamilton Friday 31 July, from 5.30pm to 10.00pm - Greenroof Bar and Restaurant, Hamilton Friday 31 July, from 10.00pm to 12 midnight - Wests New Lambton Sunday 2 August, from 5.00pm to 7.30pm. - Sushi Revolution, Hamilton on Saturday 1 August, from 12noon to 1.00pm The venues have been notified and are undergoing cleaning. Contact tracing is underway. Hunter New England Health also urges any patrons who visited the following venues at the times specified to be alert for symptoms, and if any develop to get tested and self-isolate immediately: - Queens Wharf Hotel Saturday 1 August from 9.30pm to 11.00 pm - Sydney Junction Hotel, Hamilton Saturday 1 August, from 12 midnight to 1.30am Sunday 2 August - McDonald Jones Stadium Sunday 2 August, 7:30pm to end of game, Newcastle Jets match. The above public health recommendations follow a rigorous contact tracing process where an infected individual’s movements and interactions are analysed. This enables the Public Health unit to determine if there was a reasonable chance other individuals may have been infected with the virus. In this case they would be considered a close contact and required to self-isolate until 14 days after they last saw the person or attended a place where that person visited, even if they are feeling well. Casual contact includes instances where transmission is less likely. For example where someone had less than 15 minutes face-to-face contact over the course of a week with a confirmed case, or was in the same closed space with them for less than two hours. Casual contacts are not required to self-isolate, but are still encouraged to seek testing should they develop symptoms. Dr Kat Taylor, Public Health Controller for Hunter New England Health’s COVID-19 response said that Hunter New England Health is still working to identify any further contacts or venues visited by both individuals, and further updates will be provided as more information becomes available. All close contacts will be notified and required to isolate for 14 days. It is vital people in the community continue to present for testing if experiencing symptoms to limit the spread of the virus. I encourage everyone to follow directions they receive about home isolation and quarantine, and maintain COVID-safe practices of physical distancing, coughing or sneezing into their elbow, and regularly washing their hands, she said. With the identification of additional cases in the Newcastle area, The District is expecting an increase in the demand for testing. To ensure we can best serve the community during this time, we have enhanced our local testing capability. In addition to expanding our call centre capacity and the number of phone lines available to improve booking wait times, we will extend hours and capacity at a number of local clinics. However, please be patient if visiting a clinic or calling for a booking. We have thousands of testing opportunities throughout the course of today and will see people as quickly as possible, Dr Taylor said. For a complete list of COVID-19 testing clinics and booking details, please visit https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectio//Pages/clinics.aspx

13.01.2022 NSW Health is urging parents and carers to keep young children at home if they are sick amid a rise in viral gastroenteritis cases in childcare centres. Gastroe...nteritis is highly infectious and may spread rapidly in childcare centres. Nearly 60 childcare centres reported outbreaks of gastroenteritis in October, which is significantly higher than usual. More than 480 children and 120 staff have been affected and levels have remained high throughout November. Symptoms of viral gastroenteritis include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, fever, abdominal pain, headache and muscle aches. They can take up to three days to develop and usually last between one or two days, sometimes longer. For more information visit https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/gastroenteritis/

08.01.2022 JUST THE RIGHT HEIGHT FOR TODDLERS TO REACH Every day the NSW Poisons Centre receives multiple calls from concerned parents whose toddlers have accessed the to...ilet gel disc or cage hanging in the toilet bowl. These products are often nice smelling, brightly coloured and are usually at just the right height to catch the eye of an inquisitive toddler. If you have toddlers living in or visiting your home keep your bathroom door closed & toilet lid down to reduce the chance of accidental ingestion or consider using an alternative toilet cleaner. If you suspect your child has had contact with these products always wipe out their mouth, offer a small sip of water and wash their hands & face well to remove any residue. Many of these in-bowl toilet cleaners are soapy detergents and unlikely to cause serious effects, however, some may be more harmful so always call the Poisons Centre on 131126 for further advice after any accidental exposures. #poisonsinfo #preventpoison #kidssafety See more

04.01.2022 Managing diabetes can have its challenges. Add in a global pandemic and things just got a lot trickier. It's understandable if some people have been distracted... and haven't been taking care of the things they would have been before. One of these is foot health. We are here to remind you it is completely safe to see a healthcare clinic and to not avoid important checkups. Looking after your feet when you have diabetes is an essential part of the management process and can help avoid foot and diabetes related issues including amputation and ulcers. Here's some important things to remember: - When you have diabetes you need to take care of your feet every day - Having diabetes can increase your risk of foot ulcers and amputations - Daily care can prevent serious complications - Check your feet daily for changes or problems - Visit a podiatrist annually for a check up or more frequently if your feet are at high risk #FootForward
