PPE Training Resource<\/strong><\/p>\nA COVID-19 PPE training package has been developed as part of Metro North EOC\u2019s response to COVID-19 is now available for all staff to complete on TMS. Staff involved in the direct care of COVID-19 patients are encouraged to complete this module \u2013 but I recommend it to all of you. It will take around 10 minutes to work through the training.<\/p>\n
Click on the TMS icon on your desktop and search for COVID-19 Personal Protective Equipment. <\/em>This training package will guide you through COVID-19 PPE requirements.<\/p>\nStage 3 Ease of Restrictions\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nLast Friday July 3, stage 3 easing of COVID-19 restrictions commenced for Queenslanders. Gatherings of up to 100 people on a private premise are now allowed, including weddings and funerals. Additionally, nightclubs, food courts, gambling venues, concert venues and non-therapeutic massage parlors are permitted to reopen with a COVID safe plan. I encourage you all to continue to exercise your common sense, social distancing and excellent hygiene as our restrictions continue to ease.<\/p>\n
Opening of Queensland Borders<\/strong><\/p>\nCome midday this Friday 10 July, any person from NSW, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, ACT and Northern Territory will be permitted to enter Queensland subject to completing and signing a border declaration. Anyone entering from Victoria will be subject to mandatory quarantine at their own cost. All person\u2019s entering must complete and sign a border declaration stating they have not been in Victoria in the last 14 days, false statements will attract fines of up to $4000.<\/p>\n
Thanks to everyone across Metro North for your assistance in flattening Queensland\u2019s curve. Our response has proved effective, and we are reaping the benefits seeing life as we know it slowly return to normal. Great job to all.<\/p>\n
Kind regards,<\/p>\n
