Given the prevalence of news regarding the COVID-19 virus, we wanted to confirm that we are still welcoming visitors to RAILS and to our external clinics.
Prior to coming to RAILS or to an external clinic, please phone us:
- If you have been in, or transited through, mainland China, Iran, South Korea or Italy
- If you have been in close contact with someone who already has novel coronavirus
- If you are experiencing these symptoms:
- fever
- a cough
- sore throat
- fatigue
- shortness of breath
Our telephone number is (07) 3846 9300.
If you have been overseas in the last 14 days and are feeling unwell, see a doctor.
For more information, you can watch this video: https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/03/watch-health-experts-join-jacinda-ardern-to-dispel-some-coronavirus-covid-19-myths.html
We encourage you to become familiar with the World Health Organization’s suggested safety
precautions which include:
- Washing your hands for 20 seconds and using alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
- When coughing and sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with flexed elbow or tissue and discard tissue immediately into a closed bin.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
We will have hand sanitiser available throughout the meeting space and strongly encourage all
attendees to wash their hands well throughout the day.
You might also familiarise yourself with what the Australian Government Health Department is saying at health.gov.au.
It has been highly recommended that we encourage our attendees to institute a ‘No Handshake’ policy. The Auslan sign for ‘hello’ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChkMFSnt9u4) and elbow touches are friendly and safe alternatives. The health and safety of us all is a shared responsibility that we will support as much as we can.
Thank you!
