With severe weather warnings in place for heavy rain, damaging winds and flash flooding make sure that you are safe this week.
Roads are slippery when wet, so if you need to drive, do so cautiously and slowly with your lights on. Similarly, take care if you are walking as the risk of slips and falls are more likely in wet weather.
Wishing everyone in Melbourne a safe recovery during these testing times. Be sure to practice safe social distancing and good hygiene. You’ve got this. 💪
Take Care Australia 🇦🇺 This beautiful country is home to many animals that I had never seen before until coming here almost 3 years ago.
It is so sad to see the Bushfires affecting so many people and animals.
Several areas of the country are affected by heavy smoke making air quality very poor. If you are affected be sure to spend more time indoors with the air conditioning on and avoid any vigorous outdoor activity. If you do need to go outside invest in a disposable P2 face mask. These are able to filter out very fine particles from the air when used correctly and can be brought from your local hardware store.
If you suffer from respiratory problems please see your local GP for medication and an action plan.
As many of my Australian patients say “Australia only does things in extremes” and I hope that this extreme is over soon. My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected.
