As the creep to Christmas gets closer, so does the heat of summer!

Keep an eye out for signs of Heat Stress and Heat Stroke.

To keep safe and cool, remember to:
💧 drink water (between 6-8 glasses each day)
📱 check in on loved ones regularly (especially the elderly and pregnant women)
🏃 avoid heavy exercise during the hottest parts of the day
🌬️ seek air conditioning, or stay in a cool environment
😎 slip, slop, slap, seek and slide if you're spending time outside.

If you suspect someone is experiencing a heat-related illness, call Triple Zero (000) immediately.

As the temperatures rise, look after yourself and others. ☀️

During a heatwave, your body has to work harder to produce more sweat, to keep you cool. Under some conditions, sweating isn't enough; your body temperature can rise rapidly and you may show signs of heat-related illness.

Heat-related illness can be serious, or even fatal. It's important to know the signs.

🚨ATTENTION!!🚨
As of today, 11th November, Queenslands COVID Traffic Light System has moved to amber.

Our healthcare providers will be following all future Queensland Health Updates with the Traffic Light System to ensure the safety of *ALL* patients and staff.

NOTE: just a friendly reminder that this is advice only, not a legal requirement.
The Traffic Light System is our way of letting you know if we are experiencing a wave of COVID-19 in Queensland, and what actions you may like to take to enhance your personal safety, and the safety of others.

From tomorrow (Friday 11 November), Queensland's COVID-19 traffic light system will move to AMBER. 🚦

There are currently moderate rates of COVID-19 community transmission and Queensland is entering a new wave.

While the traffic light is amber, we recommend you wear a mask:
👉 in healthcare settings
👉 indoors, if you can’t socially distance
👉 on public transport
👉 if you are older or medically at risk
👉 if you’re around people who are vulnerable to COVID-19.

Stay home if you’re sick, maintain good hygiene and keep up-to-date with your vaccinations.

Take a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) if you get COVID-19 symptoms – or every two days, if someone in your household has COVID-19.

If you get COVID-19:
👉 register your RAT result
👉 stay home until you’re well again
👉 wear a mask for 7 days after your test
👉 avoid visiting hospitals, aged care or disability care for 7 days after your test, unless you are receiving care
👉 ask household members to closely monitor symptoms.

You should always wear a mask if required by a healthcare provider, venue, or household.
