We are seeing an increase in people presenting to our emergency departments or being admitted to our hospitals or virtual ward with influenza, COVID-19, RSV and other acute respiratory illnesses.<\/h4>\n

In practical terms, we\u2019re asking you to do three key things:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Stay home if you\u2019re unwell, wash your hands regularly, and practice good respiratory hygiene.<\/li>\n
  2. If you take sick leave, please put in your Smart Leave request via MyHR from home \u2013 this allows us to know how many people are off sick in close to real time.<\/li>\n
  3. Take advantage of our free staff flu vaccination clinics<\/a> (and consider getting your COVID-19 booster at a community pharmacy if it\u2019s been at least six months since you either had COVID or your last booster).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    From a community perspective, Queensland is still on a green traffic light for COVID-19<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    I\u2019d also like to thank the more than 7000 staff who have already had your flu vaccine at one of our staff clinics in the past few weeks. Keep encouraging your colleagues to do the same. This will go a long way to keeping you and our patients safer.<\/p>\n

    Kind regards,<\/p>\n<\/div>

    <\/div>
