Simple at home ideas include: > Go for a walk if you are quarantined, set up a walking route at home e.g. around the clothesline outside, or up and down a long... hallway. > Lift weights - you can use bottles, cans of food, empty paint tins filled with water/sand/soil > Create your own at home workout - bodyweight exercises such push ups, squats, burpees, planks, crunches are good for strength and skipping/running on the spot are good for cardio. > Do an online exercise class there are many online exercise options from yoga to boxing to dance. Many gyms are streaming live online sessions and there are multiple YouTube channels to access at home exercise.

15.01.2022 WEARING A MASK // Why are face masks mandatory in Victoria? Victorias Chief Health Officer has updated the advice on wearing masks in public due to new studies on the effectiveness of face masks in reducing transmission of coronavirus. From Sunday 2 August at 11:59pm, a face covering will be mandatory whenever you leave home and wherever you live (in Victoria).... The science shows that when used properly, face masks provide an added layer of protection to slow the spread of coronavirus. This is necessary because its not always possible to maintain physical distancing, such as in a supermarket aisle or shopping centre, on a narrow footpath, in a taxi or on public transport. Its better to protect yourself and others in all these scenarios by wearing a mask. What if you cant buy a mask? First of all, its important to note that a face covering is not limited to single use disposable masks. The Chief Health Officer says its fine to either buy or make a reusable cloth mask. Cloth masks are any nose and mouth covering made of washable fabric. The Department of Health recommends a cloth mask made of three layers of a mix of breathable fabrics. Watch their video on how to make a mask below. If you really cant buy or make a cloth mask, you can wear a scarf over your face instead, just make sure its properly secured so it wont come loose while youre out and about, as you shouldnt be touching your face covering with your hands. Top tip: A cloth mask can be washed with detergent and water and re-used. Its a good idea to have at least two, so you always have a clean one available.

14.01.2022 STAYING MENTALLY HEALTHY DURING COVID-19 // Stay socially connected. Physical distancing doesnt have to mean social distancing. Staying in touch with friends, family and colleagues is important. You can stay in touch using phone, emails, social media, snail-mail etc. There are also a number of apps that allow video chat, which can help us keep in touch such as: Messenger, FaceTime, WhatsApp, Skype, Zoom, Viber and HouseParty.... Some apps have built in games and filters that can be good for children, and a good distraction from talking about COVID-19 for adults. Scheduling weekly catch-ups with friends or family is a good way of staying connected. Why not try: > Watching a movie together via telephone, chatting and commenting on the movie as if you were together. > Having a virtual dinner and catch up over video chat. > Participating in a live stream exercise class together.

10.01.2022 COMMUNICATION TIPS WHEN WEARING A MASK // Wearing masks can sometimes make communication more difficult, especially for people who have trouble speaking or hearing. Some people need to use masks with clear sections so that they can communicate with people who need to see facial expressions and lip read. Masks can also be lowered to show facial expressions - if people remain 1.5m apart from each other. Using paper and pen, or a mobile device may also be an alternative means... of communication. If you download a speech to text app you can still communicate with people who cannot see your mouth. Here are some more quick tips: >> Make sure you have your communication partners attention. >> Face your partner directly, and make sure nothing is blocking your view. >> Talk a little louder. >> Talk a little slower. >> Use your hands and your body language. >> Ask your partner if they understood you; if not, say it a different way or write it down. >>Move to a quiet place if you can. >> If youre talking with someone new, ask if theres anything you can do to make communication easier for both of you. #Communication #WeAreInThisTogether #WearAMask #WellingtonPCP
