Coronavirus (COVID-19) Information for AMAC Members
13 March 2020
With regard to the current public health concerns about COVID-19, AMAC takes direction from the Chief Medical Officer of Australia – Dr Brendan Murphy.
There are currently no directives to stop clinical practice or patient contact.
Proper precautions and or isolation procedures need to be taken with suspected or diagnosed COVID-19 carriers. Please continue to practice, including attendance at workshops, with due care and responsibility.
Given community transmission is a reality, we ask doctors to exclude themselves from attending any workshop if the following applies to them:
Recent travel from high risk countries (need to self-isolate for 14 days regardless of symptoms)
Contact with confirmed COVID-19 case (regardless of symptoms, self-isolate for 14 days)
Any URTI symptoms regardless of history (in case of exposure to undiagnosed COVID-19 case in the community).
Doctors wishing to attend an AMAC workshop and who have concerns may contact the relevant State AMAC President or the Course or Activity Convenor – contact details are provided in the information for each workshop.
