Important Information Concerning COVID19
/Following the announcements of the Federal Government and the Australian Governments’ Chief Medical Officer, I would like to pass on the following information:
A couple of days ago the government announced the following measures that need consideration:
1) Any person (whether an Australian citizen or not) that enters Australia now has to go on to a 14-day, self-isolation period.
What this means for you and our clinic:
If anyone has travelled overseas and returned to Australia from Sunday evening (15/03/2020), they must not attend the practice for 14 days from that date and we will continue to advise that patients please don’t use the clinic if they are experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough, runny nose and shortness of breath.
2) As a nation, we are not moving into enforced isolation/shut down so far, but we need to take a common sense approach to our social interactions.
The clinic will continue to operate and reinforce the following:
•The face hole will be covered with a gel cushion that can be sanitised after each treatment and a single use paper. Also, the treatment bench will be sanitised after each patient.
•The bathrooms have single use paper hand towels and soap.
•Reinforcement of usual hygiene procedures, including wiping down of door handles and surfaces, and frequent use of washing hands.
•The entrance of the clinic for you, my clients, will be on the right side of the building (a sliding door) and you just need to follow the signage. This ensures that you do not have to walk through the doctors surgery which won’t expose you to other patients in the clinic. The waiting area is in front of the treatment room for you from now on.
I would also like to ask you to please wash your hands when you come into the clinic. In addition I provide a clinical grade hand sanitiser for all of us.
Please stay healthy and safe and don’t hesitate to call me on 0423 464 491 if you have any questions.
Your safety, health and wellbeing is my priority!
Yours,
Martina
