R U OK?

Got a feeling that someone you know or care about it isn’t behaving as they normally would? Perhaps they seem out of sorts? More agitated or withdrawn? Or they’re just not themselves. Trust that gut instinct and act on it.

By starting a conversation and commenting on the changes you’ve noticed, you could help that family member, friend or workmate open up. If they say they are not OK, you can follow our conversation steps to show them they’re supported and help them find strategies to better manage the load. If they are OK, that person will know you’re someone who cares enough to ask.

Japanese encephalitis virus is spread by mosquito bites. It has been detected in parts of southern, western and New England areas of NSW following recent heavy rains.

To avoid mosquito bites and prevent infection:

• cover up while outside with loose, light-coloured clothing and covered footwear
• avoid being outdoors at dawn and dusk
• apply insect repellent on exposed skin that contains DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus
• use insecticide sprays, vapour dispensing units and mosquito coils to repel mosquitos
• cover openings such as windows and doors with insect screens
• remove water-holding containers outside your house where mosquitoes can breed

To help stop the spread of viral gastro, it’s important to:

• Wash hands well with soap and water (sanitiser is not as effective against gastro)
• Keep kids home while sick and for 48 hours after their symptoms have stopped - if symptoms persist, visit your GP
