Viral fragments of SARS-CoV-2 have been confirmed in sewage during recent routine testing upstream from the Luggage Point and Oxley Creek Wastewater Treatment Plants, offering a timely reminder that anyone with COVID-19 symptoms should get tested. The fragments could indicate the presence of an undiagnosed case of COVID-19 in the community or that a case who is no longer infectious is still shedding fragments of the virus. Symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, fatigue, diarrhoea, nausea or vomiting, and loss of taste or smell. For information on Metro North's fever clinics please visit bit.ly/3n6SHXr.

Talk about a triple threat! 🔬 Professor Ian Yang (left), Dr Fran Kinnear (middle), and Associate Professor Henry Marshall (right) are all contributing to lung and thoracic research, despite working on different individual and team projects. 🥽🧬🧪
"We take insights from the lab straight to the bedside, it's direct patient care from acute emergency to critical care," Associate Professor Marshall said.
"It's not always easy but if you're willing to take the risk and the opportunity, then you've got to go for it," Dr Kinnear said.
"The strength of collaboration from both the clinical and research teams at TPCH mean that we're advancing the healthcare on offer here for our community, to have it recognised is a great honour for us all," Professor Yang said.
Professor Yang, Dr Kinnear and Associate Professor Marshall were each recognised in our Research Excellence Awards for their contribution to individual and team research projects over the last year, based out of #TPCH. 🌟
