Great work QLD. We feel this is due to increased awareness of hygeine, good uptake of flu vaccines and the most important message to come out of covid would have to be staying home from work and school whilst sick. Its great to see people following this concept and is something we should take forward into the future.

Nice work, Queensland! Because of your great work in following good hygiene practices, socially distancing and getting the flu shot, flu numbers this year are significantly lower than what they have been in the last five flu seasons and are 84% lower than this time last year! 😮

Research suggests that Queenslanders have greatly improved their hygiene practices, which has helped to stop the spread of flu in our community.

A helpful sheet from WHO on how to correctly wear a mask. We see lots of people wearing them under their nose, remember it must cover both to be effective. If you have a mask at home please bring it to your consultations to help protect patients and staff in the clinic. Masks significantly reduce the spread of viruses.
