21.01.2022 This e-course for health workers should really be available for the whole community. It certainly made me feel a whole lot better to have a clear and concise explanation without all the hype and emotion. . The main points to take away are: . .... CV19 is spread by droplets mainly due to coughing or sneezing in the vicinity of others. It is highly unlikely that droplets can travel further than 1m. Droplets can remain on surfaces, so regular cleaning and hand washing is required. . . The main symptoms are coughing, fever and fatigue. If you are experiencing these symptoms, self isolate and seek help through the COVID-19 triage hotline: 1800 020 080 (Australia) . . Hand washing and maintaining a physical distance of 1.5m is the most effective way to prevent spread. . .

20.01.2022 Sharing this important information again. As I have been telling all my patients lately; we have just come through many months of smoke and staying indoors, followed by heavy and prolonged rain, now followed by lock down rules. This means that many of us have now experienced 6 months or more of limited sun exposure. We need the sun to make vitamin D. We are all likely a bit low on vitamin D at the moment, and as we come into the cooler months, we wont get a chance to repl...enish. My advice is to try to get some skin exposure to the sun daily for at least 15mins. I also recommend supplementing with vitamin D to prevent illness. See more
