With mandatory mask wearing restrictions easing across Queensland from 6pm on Friday 4 March, masks will no longer be required indoors, except in healthcare settings.
Condamine Medical Centre Director Dr Lynton Hudson says “the Australian Medical Association Qld (AMA) has shown their support for the mask mandate to continue for primary health providers. Masks help slow the spread of Covid, and combined with other preventative measures such as up to date vaccinations, social distancing and good hygiene, will assist in slowing the spread of Covid-19.”
Dr Hudson advises that mask wearing will be a continued requirement of entry to the CMC, for the foreseeable future.
“I understand that there is certainly an element of ‘mask fatigue’ within our community, however continuing to keep our regions infections rates as low as possible, is the goal of our CMC team.”
With Pfizer 12+ clinics continuing to run at St Mary’s Assisi Place, Acacia Avenue in Warwick and Paediatric Pfizer clinics run on a regular basis from the 53 Wood St practice, Dr Hudson urges anyone who is waiting to achieve fully vaccinated status, to book an appointment online via conmed.com.au
Parents, guardians and care-providers should read the Australian Government Department of Health information for paediatric Covid vaccinations health.gov.au/covid19-vaccines and if there are any questions, make an appointment to speak to their family GP, prior to making a vaccine clinic booking.
