​

• If you are unwell DO NOT come to Fosterton Retreat-. Remember covid-19 symptoms include:

fever (37.5 ° or higher)​

sore throat

shortness of breath (difficulty breathing)

runny nose

loss of taste

loss of smell, for more reported symptoms

• The NSW government requires people to get tested and isolate until a negative test is returned. Find a testing clinic near you, or use a RAT if you can.

• ​

• If you are already on the property when symptoms appear, please let us know so you can be isolated and arrangements made for testing. Where you isolate to will depend on who is already on the property,

• As always, clean your hands often by washing them with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or use an alcohol-based hand rub and don't touch your eyes, mouth, or nose. Hand soap is provided.

During cleaning all frequently touched surfaces are cleaned as well as wiped down with a disinfectant. 
While it seems it is not the main method of infection, research suggests the  virus which causes covid-19 may last from hours to days. So we clean surfaces and leave a 24 hour window between bookings to allow a quarantine period. 

It can only transfer from a surface into the body when a person touches the surface with the virus & then touches their mouth or nose. So be mindful of what you do with your hands & continue with that great handwashing.

Our cleaner has been given covid-19 information and if they get unwell someone else covers the cleaning.

If anyone who has been at Fosterton Retreat tests positive to Covid-19 within  28 days of your visit, you will be informed when we are informed.

We provide:

• Tissues and disposal receptacles,

• Please note: "If hands are visibly dirty, soap and water should be chosen over hand sanitizer", see The Centre for Disease Control and Prevention:

• Hand sanitizer at the doors to use before entering our accommodation.

• Handwash, body soap, water, hand towels, surface cleaner and paper towel are provided inside.

 

Other personnel:​

• If any of our cleaners are unwell they have been informed not to attend Fosterton Retreat and to get tested for covid-19, isolating until a negative test is returned,

• And if we are unwell we will either not attend Fosterton Retreat or if on the premises isolate. In both cases we will get tested and continue to isolate as per the current health orders in NSW.
