❗️COVID-19 UPDATE ❗️The rest of the world has caught up with Groote Eylandt, and we now have three cases of COVID recorded at Umbakumba. Unfortunately this was bound to happen eventually.😪
So what now??? This is where it comes down to people looking after people.
If you have been told to isolate, stay at home. Your helping to stop any further spread, and if you aren’t sick, then your stopping the chances of getting sick yourself
If you have a headache, sore throat, cough, or feeling unwell then, stay away from others and contact the clinic as soon as possible
Don’t travel between communities. If you are in Umbakumba, stay in Umbakumba. If you need to check on family in Umbakumba, use the phone, don’t go there.
If you are in Umbakumba, and need to go to the shops, then only one person should go, and leave the kids at home. Rember to wear a mask and keep at least 2 big steps space between you and the next person. Wash your hands as soon as you get home and use the sanitiser at the shops when you come and go.
If you are not vaccinated, get vaccinated, its your best chance to reduce getting really sick or worse. Its not a just white fella disease, and bush Medicine, no matter how good won’t cure it. The jabs are the best bet to make sure you can go hunting and fishing for a long time to come.
If you’ve had your two jabs, and it’s been more than four months, then you need to get your booster jab. Its no worse than the other jabs.
Children over 5 can now be vaccinated. Look after your kids and get them jabbed before they go back to school.
