19.01.2022 Are you having problems with your glasses fogging up when you wear a mask? A Melbourne surgeon has given her top tip to stop it happening. Dr Julie Miller po...sted this wisdom from "generations of surgeons" on her Twitter account. She said use micropore tape, which you can find for about $2 at any chemist. Then tape the mask along the bridge of your nose and cheeks and put your glasses on top. "Can’t operate with fogged lenses," she said. Another way is to put a folded tissue across the bridge of your nose under the mask. Dr Miller added that you should wash your hands before masking up and after removing your mask. Then put it straight into the bin if it's disposable, or a plastic bag if reusable. "Pretend the front is covered in paint - don’t touch," she said.

18.01.2022 Dan today made some announcements to a few of the rules around masks. While we are not a large store nor in a shopping centre, our staff will continue to wear masks at work. We ask that you also consider doing so, though we won’t enforce it. We are not able to socially distance 100% of the time. Many of the people who visit us and who we look after are vulnerable or unwell. We are a health service first and foremost and as you to consider the health of others when you visit us. Thanks!
