20.01.2022 If you are coming into the pharmacy, please tell pharmacy staff immediately if you have a fever and/or shortness of breath or cough, and have been overseas in the past month. NSW Health does not recommend face masks for the prevention of infections like the coronavirus (COVID-19). The easiest way to protect yourself and your family is to pay attention to good hand hygiene and respiratory hygiene. Cover your mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing with a tissue, or cough in...to your elbow, dispose of the tissue into a bin and then wash your hands afterwards. Wash your hands regularly, after using the toilet and before eating. If you suspect you may have the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), please call your GP or Healthdirect for advice on 1800 022 222.
