CoVID-19 Safety in the Community Safe Practices Please implement your practices of safe hygiene by washing your hands as often as you can and disinfecting items you come into contact with. We encourage staff to abide by the social distancing regulations to avoid passing the virus to your fellow staff and participants as well as your own families. If you or your participant are unwell or believe you have come into contact with someone who may have the virus please let us know as soon as you find out as we will need to remove you from all shifts for the following two weeks.
Face Masks A limited supply of face masks is available to Toowoomba support staff to assist in reducing the spread of the virus. These will be available through the Paul Myatt Community Centre.
Motor Vehicles From the 3rd April 2020 all vehicle bookings will be cancelled. The community buses will continue to run between 9 am to 3 pm on week days so please encourage your participants to use the bus only for shopping or attending medical appointments. It is best practice to book the bus in advance to avoid missing out. Please encourage your participants to stay at home unless absolutely necessary. If you have a shift picking up participants from out of town such as Laidley, Kingsthorpe, Gracemere etc. a car will be made available to you but this will be the only exception. 12
