Course Access
Dear All,
Please see attached.
This is the document (in addition to https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/coronavirus-case-and-contact-management-guidelines-health-services-and-general-practitioners ) that I am applying, however I do see that the volume of information coming from state and federal sources could be confusing.
Kind regards,

Hi Karen and Lucas,
There is no requirement to COVID test all admission from the community or hospital just contact and droplet precautions for isolation 14 days.

Hi Lucas
Totally agree with Karen. You must also take into consideration that it can take up to 10 days for symptoms to appear after last contact. That is why we test at day 11 with 72 hours for results to come back. Hence 14 days isolation.
Tough times for you guys at the moment but if you follow the guidelines it will get under control much quicker.
Kind regards,

Good evening all
Just curious what your thoughts and current policies are regarding new admissions to aged care facilities and quarantine.
At present in our facility we are quarantining new admissions from the community or hospital for 14 days. This is following a recommendation from our local PHN.
Are others following a similar policy? What are your thoughts on perhaps COVID testing new admissions and ceasing quarantine on return of negative testing?
Thank you
