Consistent with SA Health directives, all staff at Calvary sites and all staff providing home care in South Australia, are required to wear a mask at all times as of midnight on 28 June 2021.
This includes all staff, visitors and contractors.
All masks must be a surgical mask. Please do not wear personal masks from home.
Some useful facts about masks:
Masks in best case scenario (when they are not touched or removed from face) have a life of up to 4 hours (if not wet).
Masks should be removed and replaced in the following circumstances:
1. You touch your mask
2. You remove your mask from nose and mouth area (e.g. to eat, drink or blow nose)
3. The mask should not be lowered and worn around the chin and then put back onto face.
If you remove your mask please discard in the following manner:
1. Perform hand hygiene
2. Handle the mask by the string or tape that wraps around your ear only
3. Discard into nearest waste bin immediately
4. Perform hand hygiene
5. Do not scrunch it into a ball and put it in your pocket.
If you have any questions please speak with your manager.
