Updated 21 September 2023 These policies are in place for the protection of your child, your family, and The Sensory Gym® staff. The policy is made in line with the recommendations from NSW Ministry of Health guidelines (June 2023).
Staff who test positive to Covid-19: People who test positive to Covid-19 are recommended to not return to work until their symptoms have resolved.
Staff who have been in contact with someone who has Covid-19 are advised to follow the following guidelines to reduce the risk of spread:
Monitor for symptoms. If you have or develop cold or flu symptoms (runny nose, sore throat, cough, fever) stay home and get tested for Covid-19. If your test result is positive, follow the testing positive to Covid-19 and managing Covid-19 safely at home advice. If your test result is negative, stay home until your symptoms have gone.
Wear a mask indoors.
Maintain physical distancing where possible.
Regularly wash your hands.
Consider doing a rapid antigen teset before coming to work.
In addition to the above the following practices are also encouraged to reduce the spread of Covid-19 virus:
Prior to each session, clients and their parent/carers entering The Sensory Gym® are encouraged to wash or sanitize their hands. This will also be done at the end of each treatment session, and in the midst of a treatment session if needed.
