Fever clinics

Fever clinics are specialist clinics to assess people who may be infected with COVID-19. These clinics help to keep people who may be contagious away from other areas of hospitals and health centers. This helps to reduce the potential spread of the virus and keeps the emergency department available for emergencies.

Fever clinics are managed by Hospital and Health Services. View the Queensland Fever Clinic & Respiratory Clinics list  to find your closest location, or contact your GP or local hospital.

To support Queensland’s response to COVID-19, people who do not have adequate insurance coverage and are not eligible for Medicare will not be charged out of pocket expenses if they  present to any Queensland Health facility for assessment in relation to COVID-19 infection.

If anyone in the family is symptomatic please see below, also follow the advice for your health care provider and as per Queensland Health recommendations.  More information can be found at www.covid19.qld.gov.au

The rest of your household does not need to self-isolate if the symptomatic person  stays away from others in your home. As much as possible, you should:

• stay in a room away from others
• sleep in a separate bedroom
• use a separate bathroom

Also, don't allow visitors into the home.  If you usually live with vulnerable people, like those over the age of 65 with chronic disease, they should stay somewhere else if they can, until you all finish self-isolating.  Your child can finish self-isolating when they have no symptoms (as above) or have a negative COVID-19 swab.

If your child tests positive to COVID19 please contact the Club COVID Safe Coordinator:

Adrian Pate mobile 0432 699 568 email aranaascot@gmail.com

If your test is negative you can return to training/games when well - that is you have no symptoms. However even if you test negative but you still have symptoms you cannot return to training or games.

• Remember to wash/wipe down your stick, shinpads, shoes, gloves, masks.
• Clean your mouthguard.
• Wash your hockey clothes.
