Afternoon,

Just wanting to find out how the various private and public sectors are managing RAT testing patients if at all on admissions, we are trying to figure out whether or not to continue with this as it is resource draining and staff are needed elsewhere.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

With kind regards

Hi All,

I am the Facility Manager of an Aged Care Facility in Port Macquarie.
The Department of Health have recently had a webinar in which they have recommended staff wear the P2/N95 mask for 28 day after a COVID outbreak ends.
I would like to know form the experts among us what you would recommend.
As you can imagine this seems extreme and would be a considerable burden on our staff.

Facility Manager & IPC Lead
