1) 7 steps to prevent COVID-19 – Source: World Health Organisation.

Out of all the posters, this one is a must. Here’s some ideas on how best to use it:

• Print out and put up around your clinic.
• Use on your website.
• Use it in your social media.
• Put it in your email signature or include in your email campaign to patients.

2. How to wash your hands properly – Source: Medisave.

This one is very interesting as 70% of people don’t actually know how to wash their hands properly. Use it:

• In your rest rooms.
• Use it as a hand out.
• Put it on your website.
• Use it in your social media campaigns.

3. Identifying the symptoms of COVID-19 – Source: Australian Government.

COVID-19 is quite challenging in the fact that particular symptoms of general cold and flu (viral) illnesses are only “sometimes” present. Best to include:

• On your website.
• In social media.
• Send to all patients before coming into your clinic.

4. Social Distancing – Source: SHRM.

This message is a little older (point 2 should be 1.5 metres) but a good set of guidelines for the work environment. Send it to all your employees.

5. Back to school message – Source: Navicent Health.

This is a great message for everyone. Get your flu shot and wiping down shared surfaces with a bleach based product where possible is a great addition.
