14.01.2022 Coronavirus YourGP update If you have any questions or concerns regarding coronavirus, you can call the Coronavirus Health Information Line on 1800 020 080. This line is open 24 hours per day and seven days per week. Symptoms of the virus may include fever, cough, sore throat and shortness of breath. If you are quite unwell with symptoms of pneumonia you may be asked to go directly to Emergency at The Canberra Hospital for testing and treatment. If you would like to attend... YourGP and think there is a possibility you may have been exposed to coronavirus, it is essential to let reception know immediately when you call. This is so we can protect others and streamline your appointment. We will be concerned if you discuss a possible coronavirus infection during a consultation without forewarning and precautions. Testing can be performed if: - symptomatic with fever and respiratory symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath, sore throat AND - have a history of travel to mainland China (including in transit) in the 14 days before getting sick, (excluding Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan), or have had had close contact with someone diagnosed or suspected of having coronavirus, in the 14 days before becoming unwell. Testing cannot be conducted on those who are not symptomatic. We may conduct your consultation over the phone to avoid the need for you to attend the practice. If you are asked to come to the practice for an examination and swabs, please call reception on arrival to check-in and wait in your car for us to come and meet you. If this is not possible then put on a mask immediately on entering the practice and make yourself known to reception as possibly having coronavirus. You will be discretely directed to a separate room. We cannot provide medical certificates to certify that you do not have coronavirus. We can provide certificates stating you returned to Australia 14 or more days ago, you state you have not been unwell and that you have no signs of infection. For this certificate please attend the practice no earlier than 14 days following potential exposure and bring travel documents.

09.01.2022 Tips to minimise the risk of infection with COVID-19. The evidence so far indicates the virus is spread from person to person through small respiratory droplets. Wash your hands &/or use hand sanitiser whenever you cough, sneeze, blow your nose, care for someone who is sick, before cooking and eating, before unloading the dishwasher, after touching your face and after going to the toilet. Social distancing - keep 1.5m from others where possible when outside the home, especia...lly if you or others are unwell. Cough or sneeze into your elbow or into a tissue. Place the tissue in the bin and wash your hands. Do not shake hands, hug or kiss on the cheek, with the exception of close family members. Try not to touch your face with your hands. You will be surprised how often you do it once you become conscious of it! Be aware that touching 'fomites' is a potential mode of COVID-19 transmission. A 'fomite' is an inanimate object that has been contaminated with a virus. This can happen when the virus is expelled in droplets following a cough or a sneeze, which then fall, contaminating surrounding surfaces. Contamination may also occur following being touched by a person who is contagious. Viral transmission may occur after touching a contaminated surface and then touching your mouth, nose, eyes or food. Examples of fomites: - your mobile phone - taps, turn off the tap using a paper towel - door handles - elevator buttons - menus, consider how you may handle a menu and then handle food, eg bread, with your hands - supermarket trolley handles - self-serve grocery check-out touch screens - ATM keypads - pedestrian crossing buttons (use your elbow) - shared pens (keep one with you) - money - cash/coins. Try to create some lower-risk areas. For example, you could sanitise your hands before entering your car. Create a family policy that everyone wash their hands on entering the house. Please share this post! If together we can reduce COVID-19 transmission, we can help protect the most vulnerable in our communities!
