15.01.2022 https://www.wearitpurple.org/wear-it-purple-day-2020 is an annual LGBTQ+ awareness day, and this year it's today! The day empowers young people and celebrates diversity throughout our schools, workplaces and the broader community. By chucking on a purple shirt, pulling up your purple socks, or dying your hair purple, you are visibly showing your support for LGBTQ+ youth and reminding young people they are loved, accepted and have the right to be proud of who they are.... Whether you’re celebrating in person or online this year, here are four important reasons why you should wear it purple! In Australia, 11.2% of young people identify as attracted to the same sex. That is 110 people in a school of 1000, or 2 in a group of 20. Despite this big number, discrimination and harassment still occurs against people who are, or even appear as, LGBTQ+ members. Wear It Purple Day, offers the opportunity for education around sexuality and gender diversity, as well as a way to break harmful stereotypes surrounding the LGBTQ+ community. We have the chance to spotlight how LGBTQ+ people are normal human beings, who exist in all spaces. With greater awareness comes the creation of a safer, more accepting society. A staggering 75% of LGBTQ+ youth experience some form of discrimination due to the lack of acceptance of their sexuality or gender identity. Compared to the general population, LGBTQ+ people are far more likely to have thoughts of suicide, or attempt suicide in their lifetime. When you wear purple, you are sending a message to young rainbow people that you support them. Whether you wear purple in your school, university, workplace or in the community, you’re actively making a safe space where young people can feel empowered and are encouraged to be proud of who they are.

02.01.2022 - 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
