Corona virus information

Kerry Walker • March 11, 2020

What is coronavirus?
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses which may cause illness in animals or humans.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a new virus that can cause an infection in people, including a severe respiratory illness.

Who is at risk?
Travelled or transited through Iran, mainland China or South Korea
• Anyone who has been in Iran, mainland China or South Korea in the past 14 days or is a close or casual contact of a confirmed case of COVID-19 is at the highest risk of infection. 
• If you have been in Iran, mainland China (excluding Hong Kong SAR, Macau and Taiwan) or South Korea in the past 14 days you are advised to:
o stay at home (self-quarantine)
o avoid public settings - this means you should not attend work, school, childcare or university or go to other public places such as restaurants, cinemas or shopping centres and should not use public transport or taxis
o do this for 14 days after leaving mainland China, South Korea or Iran (other than when seeking medical care)
o only people who usually live in the household should be in the home. Do not allow visitors into the home.
o you should stay in a different room to other people as much as possible.
Had close contact with a confirmed case
• If you have been in close contact with someone who has coronavirus disease (COVID-19) stay at home (self-quarantine).
Travelled Internationally
The situation is evolving rapidly as we find out more about this disease. Increasing numbers of countries are reporting cases with rapid increases in many places. 
As such travellers returning from any country outside Australia are now considered at risk of COVID-19.
At this stage, only returning travellers from Iran, South Korea and China should self- isolate.
If you are arriving in Australia from Italy, you must present for health screening at the border as directed. Unless you are instructed to, you do not need to isolate at home.
If you have returned from international travel in the last 14 days and begin to feel unwell and develop a fever or shortness of breath, a cough or respiratory illness, you should call the dedicated hotline on 1800 675 398 for advice.
Elderly or have pre-existing medical conditions
Many people will suffer only mild symptoms; however, early indications are that the elderly and people with pre-existing medical conditions such as heart and lung disease are more at risk of experiencing severe symptoms.

What are the symptoms
The most common symptoms reported include:
• Fever
• Breathing difficulties such as breathlessness
• Cough
• Sore throat
• Fatigue or tiredness.
If you feel unwell
• If you are in any of these risk categories and begin to feel unwell and develop a fever or shortness of breath, a cough or respiratory illness either during your period of isolation (self-quarantine), or in the 14 days since arriving home from international travel, you should seek immediate medical attention. 
• Call ahead to your GP or emergency department and mention your overseas travel before you arrive at the doctor’s office so they can prepare appropriate infection control measures. 
• If you have serious symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, call 000 and ask for an ambulance and tell the operator your recent travel history.

WHAT IS A MOTHER A mother is someone who loves you Who cares for you in every way She sits down and listens to what you have to say She always thinks your beautiful Never puts you down She always has a smile To wipe away your frown A mother is someone who believes in you Always pushes you to go far Tells you to believe in yourself No matter who you are A mother is like an angel Although without the wings She tells you to enjoy Life's most smallest things I really love my mother She means so much to me Mommy I really love you And that's how it always will be.
