Waiting room poster: Travel health

Have you recently arrived from overseas?

Do you have a fever, or bad cough? Are you having trouble breathing or generally feel unwell?

Please tell Reception about your symptoms particularly if you have recently been overseas.

Ask for a tissue to cover your nose and mouth, when you cough/sneeze and ask that you be seated away from other people while you wait to see a doctor or nurse.



DO:

• When you see a doctor or nurse, tell them immediately about your symptoms and that you have been overseas.
  Do not wait to be asked.
  
• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing.

• Throw the tissue away in a bin afterwards and then wash your hands with soap and water or alcohol-based hand gel. Make sure you dry them well.

DON’T:

• Delay seeking help.
