The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) has launched a new interactive online guide to help people with COVID-19 manage their symptoms at home.
The RACGP's Managing COVID-19 at home with assistance from your general practice site now includes a dynamic new, user-friendly interactive online version which has been adapted for people who do not require additional support from their GP while self-managing their illness at home. The online tool includes advice and information on:
· what people need to do when isolating at home
· how to manage symptoms
· tips for taking care of mental health and wellbeing.
RACGP Vice President Dr Bruce Willett encouraged people to take advantage of the information.
"This new and improved online resource is just what the doctor ordered," he said.
"The timing couldn't be better. With case numbers in their tens of thousands each day it's essential people know what to do if they catch this virus. Most people with COVID-19 will only experience relatively minor symptoms that can be safely managed in the comfort of their own home.
"This new resource is great for people with low digital literacy skills, including those who perhaps aren't accustomed to searching around internet sites
