Following the state and federal government\u2019s health directives such as limits on mass gatherings, physical distancing, etc.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">2. Being vigilant in getting medical advice if experiencing any symp-toms of a respiratory infection. Even if the symptoms are very mild, you must still consult either your GP, respiratory clinic or visit any of the Queensland Health fever clinics.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">3. Isolate yourself if you have been unwell until all your symptoms resolved. Some people could have false negative results and if symptoms persist consult your GP over the phone.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">4. Practice hand hygiene regularly. Wash your hands often with soap and water or use alcohol-based hand sanitiser when you can\u2019t use soap and water.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">5. Avoid touching your nose, eyes and mouth.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">6. Cough etiquette &#8211; Always cough or sneeze into your arm or a tissue and put the tissue in the bin straight away.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">7. Routine use of face masks is currently not recommended as com-munity transmission rates are very low. If you decide to wear a mask, it is important to wear a mask safely. You should wash your hands before wearing the mask, do not touch the mask and wash your hands after removing it.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">8. Do not neglect regular health issues and continue to be in con-tact with your GP either through telehealth or face to face.<br \/>\n9. Eat healthy and maintain a regular exercise programme.<br \/>\n10.

Those who need help in mental health should contact their GP.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Unfortunately, in the Southern Hemisphere, the Flu season has coincid-ed with the current COVID-19 pandemic. Interestingly, due to measures taken to control COVID-19 and a high uptake of the Influen-za vaccine this season, there has been a reduction in the cases of influ-enza this year. There have been only 208 laboratory confirmed cases of Influenza nationwide last month compared to 30,567 at the same time last year. Though this is good news, it is important to prevent Influenza during this pandemic as it could be very serious if one has both infec-tions. Annual vaccination is the most important measure to prevent influenza. It is available to all people aged 6 months and over unless contraindicated and it is strongly encouraged that you get an influenza vaccination if you have not already done so.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Hopefully, one of the current multicentre vaccine and treatment trials will have a successful outcome soon. Until such time we will have to continue our new norm &#8211; \u2018COVIDsafe lifestyle\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">If you need any further information on COVID-19, please contact the national COVID Help line on 1800 020 080<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px;
