24.01.2022 Keep up the great work Victoria! As we move to a 'COVID normal' way of life, don't forget the basics. Keep your distance, staying at least 1.5m apart from others, practice good hand hygiene, cough or sneeze into your elbow and if you feel unwell, stay home and arrange to get a COVID-19 test - no matter how mild your symptoms. Stay safe and we can celebrate a COVID normal Christmas together.

Exercise is one of the best things you can do to combat chronic diseases like Diabetes, but there’s no need to run a marathon or hit the gym to see the benefits. Make a plan to walk around the block once a day, spend some time in the garden or ditch the car and walk to work, or into town to meet a friend. Pictured participating in group exercise are NCN Health Cobram’s Allied Health Assistant Josh Foley with Vincent Grasso and Royce Bastin. Eat well and feel well Perhaps you need advice on nutrition?
