On Tuesday, a new case of COVID-19 was diagnosed in a local resident of Hunters Hill. The infection is part of a known cluster and appropriate self isolation has occurred. virus was acquired in the Sydney CBD and not locally. The local public health unit is on top of the situation and are managing the response which includes contact tracing . We encourage everyone to follow the public health advice.
Understandably, a local case causes considerable stress and anxiety. That said, it is important to remember that the risk remains quite low especially if everyone cooperates and follows the public health advice. To help minimise the risk we are asking all patients who attend the practice to wear a mask and if anyone has symptoms to get a COVID test.
Please remember to:
- Maintain hand hygiene
- Social distancing (minimum 1.5 meters)
- Wear a face mask
- Stay home if you have symptoms
- Get a COVID test if you have any symptoms or had contact with a positive case
- Self-isolate after a COVID test
- Do not visit aged care facilities
- Support friends and family
