Covid-19
Notification about COVID-19 / Coronavirus
​
The COVID-19 strain of coronavirus has caused an outbreak of respiratory infections in most nations of the world. On the 11th of March 2020, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation. More information about what defines a pandemic, what this means and the COVID-19 virus can be found on the VIC Department of Health website.
​
Symptoms of COVID-19 Infection:
It is important that we are all aware of the symptoms of COVID-19 infection.
​
From the Department of Health Website:
"Patients may have fever, cough, runny nose, shortness of breath and other symptoms. In more sever cases, infection can cause pneumonia with severe acute respiratory distress".
​
This link contains more information on COVID-19, including statistics, symptoms and methods of avoiding spread of the infection. Note that the symptoms of COVID-19 / Coronavirus are difficult to distinguish from a regular cold or flu.
​
Please call your doctor and seek their advice if you develop any of the symptoms listed above.
What COVID-19 means for us:
This infection is present in the community of Melbourne. How infectious COVID-19 is, how rapidly it will spread and how dangerous it is, are not currently completely understood. Many people are naturally concerned about the virus and their risk of catching it and developing the infection.
​
Unfortunately, testing for the virus is very difficult at this time. Only a few pathology centres are able to offer the test, and they are currently overwhelmed by demand, causing prolonged and impractical delays in getting results. We are also entering the normal cold and flu season, and the recent drop in temperatures means that we are all far more likely to catch the regular viruses of the autumn and winter seasons.
​
My Commitment to You:
My hygiene practices are already of a very high standard, however during this time and in accordance with the current regulations in place, I will not be seeing any clients for face to face sessions or treatments.
​
All sessions that can be offered online, are available online - Personal Training, Health & Lifestyle Coaching, Makeup Tutorials and Wardrobe Edits are all available online.
​
I will update this page as any new information comes to light.
​
Stay safe & well during this time, and if you are feeling stressed or anxious, please get in touch.
​
Big love,
Brooke
