So we thought we'd give you a small update. ... Vaccine:- - No, unfortunately there is no vaccine against COVID-19 as of yet. - since COVID-19 is a different flu strain to influenza, having a flu vaccine from 2019 will not protect you from the disease, but still good practise to regularly get your yearly flu shot (due to arrive in April) Hygiene:- - the best prevention is to practise healthy hygiene - when washing your hands sing "happy birthday" twice while scrubbing with soap (or scrub for at least 20 seconds) rinse, then dry with paper towel - use hand sanitizer when possible - cough into your elbow, not your hand, or use a tissue and wash your hands immediately after In relation to face masks:- - face masks are best used when you are sick to prevent others from contracting the illness - as stock is limited we cannot give every patient a face mask The practice:- - our staff regularly sterilise all public areas including the desk, chairs and door handles so as not to put our patients at risk - if you see something that needs attention, let reception know and we'll attend to it If you believe you're at risk:- - if you have flu symptoms such as fever, shortness of breath, sore throat and cough AND - have travelled overseas in the last 14 days OR - have come into contact with someone who has travelled overseas in the last 14 days Immediately contact us on 3711 2280 for more information.
