​Dear clients

As you know, the health of our clients, our team and the community are first and foremost our focus. Due to the recent public health concerns and the emergence of the coronavirus (COVID-19) occurring we wanted to update you on the impacts to your sessions and the practice.

What are we doing?
As per the requirements from the Department of Health, all team members who have been to traveled from the listed countries are excluded from returning to work for 14 days from the date they left that country. This is also the case for any team member who is feeling unwell or showing signs or symptoms of being unwell, will remain at home. We want to to assure you that we are working hard to keep you safe by he following: 
- Increased the cleaning frequency  
- Regular cleaning of all equipment including exercise equipment
- Use of hand hygiene and hand sanitizes use in and around the clinic including the front desk 

What can you do?
We request you follow the guidelines and recommendations set by the Department of Health and self-exclude if you have been to any of the countries with exclusion periods or have been in contact with someone with confirmed or suspected COVID-19. We also ask that you not attend the practice when you are unwell regardless of whether you think this may be COVID-19 or a cold or flu.

Please make sure you are practicing excellent hygiene as hand washing and containment of bodily fluids continue to be the best defence against the spread of cold, flus and COVID-19.

In addition simple measures we can all take to help prevent the spread:

• Wash your hands with soap and water for a minimum of 20 seconds, use hand sanitiser when you don't have access to a sink
• Avoid touching your eyes, face and mouth
• Sneeze into a tissue or your elbow and cover your mouth if you need to cough.
