COVID19 Update 28th March

COVID 19 is a very serious challenge facing all our community, and like all clinical settings, we are at the forefront in taking all the safety precautions recommended by government and the World Health Organisation.
We continue to stay open as a primary health provider recognising that now more than ever our clients need our support.
We advise that you minimise all contact with people outside your household, drive, walk or cycle here if you can, and head straight home afterwards.
We want to let you know the actions we have taken to ensure that Hurstwood Clinic remains a very safe place to attend, and to work.

• All group activities have been suspended.
• Public areas are disinfected daily.
• All doors are wedged open so there is no need for clients to touch any surfaces during their visit.
• Appointments are being staggered so there is minimal chance of more than one client in the waiting area at any time,
• All rooms meet the government’s requirement of minimum 4m2 per person.
• All staff and clients are required to remain at home if they have a fever, cough or sore throat, have returned from overseas, or have been exposed to persons at risk.
• Clients should inform their counsellor to arrange an online consult instead if they meet any of these criteria.

Remember 4 actions keep you and others safe from contracting the virus.

• Wash your hands with soap for 20 seconds. The virus is killed by soap.
• Don’t touch your face when out of your home unless you have just washed your hands.
• Maintain 1.5m distance between you and anyone showing symptoms. As an extra precaution, you can practice this with all people.
• Any cough and sneeze, even a cold or hay fever, cough or sneeze into your elbow.

If you have any symptoms

• Self isolate
• Contact your GP to arrange a test
