Hi everyone,
Ken Wishaw will be doing the on-site registration and just happens to be medical doctor formally with the armed forces. He has asked that we issue this advisory to avoid any unfortunate medical occurrences at this years Astrofest.
I will attempt to send this advisory directly to each attendee via email.
******To all Astrofest attendees*******
There has been a major increase in influenza cases in South East Queensland in the past week.
The close confines of Camp Duckadang lends itself to influenza spreading easily. There are no nearby medical facilities.
Therefore
• If you have an active upper respiratory tract infection please defer attending till you are symptom free.
•
• If you develop an upper respiratory tract infection (or gastro) while at Astrofest, please let me know. It would be best if you make arrangements to leave. If that will not be till the next day, we will endeavour to isolate you in the interests of others.
•
• While at astrofest be careful with infection control. Wash your hands prior to each meal and all other appropriate times(!) and use the hand sanitiser at the meal location.
If you have any queries my phone number is 0412 947 429. I will be at Camp Duckadang from Thursday lunchtime and staying for the entire event (unless I get and upper respiratory tract infection)!
Dr Ken Wishaw
On-site Registrar.
