Stopping the spread COVID19

March 24, 2020
George

The advice from the Australian Physiotherapy Association is that the Federal Minister for Health, Hon Greg Hunt, has advised that all allied health businesses can continue to operate and are encouraged to do so. We are therefore open for business and are working very hard to ensure the health and safety of our staff and clients.

Current advice to all Australians

Everyone must practise good hygiene to protect against infection and prevent the virus spreading How to handWASH
International travellers or those who have had 'direct contact' with an infected person should self-isolate for 14-days to prevent the spread.

If you develop a fever, a cough, sore throat or shortness of breath within 14 days of overseas travel, seek medical attention. Stop the spread

If you have a confirmed case of COVID-19, you need to isolate yourself to prevent it spreading to other people.

What we are doing

First and foremost we have increased the frequency of our infection control procedures in the clinic and we are adapting to national recommendations daily as needed.

Here are some of the things we are doing in the clinic as our response to stopping the spread:

  • practicing excellent hygiene/infection control
  • screening patients
  • looking out for symptoms Know the signs
  • staggering appointment times
  • practicing social distancing
  • offering home visits
  • staying healthy
  • being extra kind

What next?

Watch out for our posts on social media (Instagram and Facebook) over the next few days/weeks as we share how we continue to adapt to the recommendations provided by Australian Government, Health Minister and NSW Government and the challenges currently facing us all.

The health and safety of our staff and clients is of the utmost importance to us. Continuing to provide excellence in physiotherapy services to our valued clients is at the core of what we do every day and we will continue to that while we can.
