HEALTH MATTERS
As a matter of education and awareness, the Darling Downs Public Health Unit (DDPHU) has asked us to provide the following information to DLSA families
CRYPTOSPORIDIUM (CRYPTO) FOUND THROUGHOUT SOUTHEAST QLD
Since the beginning of March we have been tracking the recent outbreak of crypto found at various public facilities throughout SE Qld.
​
To further protect our DLSA families throughout this time, the DLSA has:
​
-
Increased our super chlorination protocols to weekly doses.
-
Increased facility signage to educate families.
-
Modified our Make-Up Policy to make it easier NOT to attend lessons if a swimmer has experienced symptoms.
-
Educated our Team about the facts regarding crypto.
​
Please review the following fact sheets and various information posters provided to us by Darling Downs Health.
PARENTS PLEASE NOTE:
It is IMPERATIVE that you or
any member of your family
DO NOT SWIM
if they have been diagnosed with
crypto or diarrhoea for
14 DAYS AFTER
SYMPTOMS HAVE ABATED
Together we can keep all our
DLSA families healthy & safe
