It's been a while between updates! We wanted to provide you with a health training update & what All Health Training is doing:
Sensible changes to pandemic orders and public health recommendations came into effect at 11:59pm 12th July 2022, to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 and ensure Victorians are aware of proactive steps they can take to look after themselves and each other.
In line with AHPPC advice, the period when someone is considered a recently confirmed case (and therefore exempt from testing and isolation/quarantine requirements) has been revised:
This reflects the emerging evidence that new variants of COVID-19 can evade prior immunity gained from infection.
Positive cases are still required to isolate for seven days from the day they took their test .
However, an additional reason to leave home has been added:
All Health Training have RAT's available for our students to purchase at all of our 4 sites in Blackburn, Narre Warren & Preston.
There are no changes to current face mask requirements in the pandemic orders. This incudes in the classroom.
You are still required to wear a mask whilst on practical placement in a healthcare setting.
Mask wearing in indoor and crowded settings is strongly recommended by the Victorian State government to protect yourself and our most vulnerable Victorians through winter. If you feel more comfortable wearing a mask, please do so.
Wearing masks when indoors outside your home helps protect yourself, your family, and your community. It will also protect our health system and support our front-line health care workers, by reducing COVID-19 cases in the community and reducing pressure on GP practices and our hospitals.
Every Victorian who wears a mask when out and about is helping our health care workers.
