18.01.2022 As you will be aware, COVID-19 is a pandemic. We can all try to slow the spread of this virus. Simple measures include: - good hand hygiene and cough/sneeze etiquette - self-isolation and staying at home if unwell, or have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 - social distancing (keeping a distance of at least 1.5m between you and other people where possible).... Vulnerable people include the elderly (>70 years old); people with compromised immune systems; and people with chronic health conditions. Townsville Neurosciences has put several measures in place to follow the recommendations and we require your assistance and consideration: - we have reduced the number of seats in the waiting room to allow social distancing. If you have an upcoming appointment, please be mindful of this and bring limited family members. - we are staggering appointment times to reduce the number of people in the waiting room at one time. - we are offering phone or skype consultations (instead of face-to-face appointments) for vulnerable people. If you have any symptoms of COVID-19 (fever, flu-like symptoms such as coughing, sore throat and fatigue, shortness of breath), PLEASE STAY AT HOME and phone our rooms on 07 4779 9266 to reschedule your appointment. See this website for more up-to-date information on COVID-19: https://www.health.gov.au//novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov-hea
