14.01.2022 Remembrance Day is an important event for both veterans and the broader community to pay their respects to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.... Australians have paused to reflect and pay tribute on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month since 1918. Although Remembrance Day will be different this year, Australians are encouraged to observe one minute’s silence at 11am in their homes, schools or workplaces, in memory of those who died or suffered in all wars and armed conflicts. This year, due to COVID, groups of up to 100 people may gather for Remembrance Day services across NSW, provided they adhere to social distancing measures and have a COVID-19 Safety Plan in place. Alternatively, you can tune into the NSW Remembrance Day service on www.nsw.gov.au/remembranceday

They don’t work for viruses like COVID-19 and should never be taken for any viral infections, including colds and flu. Learn more this World Antimicrobial Awareness Week at www.amr.gov.au See more

04.01.2022 NSW Health is urging people to take precautions with heatwave conditions forecast for parts of the state this weekend. Simple ways to reduce the risk of heat-re...lated illness include: Avoid the heat of the day by staying indoors and keeping cool by using air-conditioning, fans and drawing blinds and curtains closed Keep hydrated by drinking plenty of water Check on the welfare of vulnerable neighbours, friends and family Plan ahead for hot days. Signs of heat related illness include dizziness, tiredness, irritability, thirst, fainting, muscle pains or cramps, rapid pulse, shallow breathing, vomiting and confusion. People showing severe signs should seek urgent medical attention and, in an emergency situation, call Triple Zero (000). People should also continue to practise COVID-19 safe behaviour during the heatwave. If you are able to cool your home through a combination of fans, air-conditioning and closed blinds, please do so and stay at home. This is so physical distancing in other indoor spaces where people may seek relief from the heat, such as libraries or shopping centres, is not compromised. If you do leave your home to visit other indoor spaces, please physically distance and wear a face mask in places where you cannot maintain 1.5 metres distance from others. Keep in touch with relatives, neighbours and friends virtually through phone, social media or video call.
