Coronavirus (COVID-19) protection measures at CHH

10th March 2020

Your health and wellbeing is our number one priority at Canterbury Health Hub.

In light of the recent outbreak of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), we have recently put several measures into place so that we can continue to provide a safe environment for you and all of our patients at Canterbury Health Hub.

Please find below our action plan, which will be reviewed on a regular basis:

1. HYGIENE ACTION PLAN

  • You will notice a number of additional hand sanitisers in the clinic. Please utilise these upon entering the clinic
  • The staff at CHH will be completing additional daily cleans to ensure sterilisation more regularly

2. HEALTH ACTION PLAN

  • If you are experiencing flu-like symptoms, please seek medical attention prior to returning to the clinic

3. OVERSEAS ACTION PLAN

This policy applies to all patients and all staff:

  • We ask that you do not attend the clinic for 14 days following arrival back into Australia for the countries classified as High Risk by both the Australian Government and World Health Organisation (WHO). High risk countries include: China, Iran, Italy, Japan, Mongolia and South Korea
  • We ask that you do not attend the clinic for 7 days following arrival back into Australia for all other international travel from other countries
