CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)

Pandemic Plan

April 2020

Stage 2 April 1st2020 to April 30th2020

FORWARD

On 31 December 2019, the World Health Organisation (WHO) was informed of cases of pneumonia detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province of China. The virus was named as Novel Coronavirus, also known as COVID-19. COVID-19 is a severe acute respiratory syndrome and there is currently no specific treatment (no vaccine and no antiviral) against the virus.

Due to the heightened global concern, the International Health Regulations Emergency Committee, the WHO Director-General declared on 30 January 2020 the outbreak of COVID- 19 a Public Health Emergency of International concern and has since been characterised as a pandemic.

Confirmed COVID-19 cases have been detected in 202 countries including Australia. The John Hopkins Centre for disease control maintains internationals statistics. As of 5 April 2020, there have been over 1,203,000 reported cases and 64,700 deaths worldwide. In Australia, there have been 5,635 confirmed cases, and 34 deaths. Queensland has more than 900 cases with 3 confirmed deaths.

There is evidence that COVID-19 spreads from person to person, primarily through close contact with another individual, through coughing and sneezing on somebody else who is within a range of about 3 to 6 feet from that person. The disease can remain active on surfaces for up to 12 hours. Advice from Queensland Health is the disease will spread widely and affect a large proportion of the Queensland community. Some people recover easily, others may get very sick very quickly. People over the age of 70 are particularly susceptible to contracting COVID-19 with an increased likelihood of serious illness to death.

Failure to contain the disease would see significant disruption to business, education and general day-to-day activities over a prolonged period. The authority to restrict movement of people and the ability to maintain and restore essential services would reduce the impact on the Queensland community.

As the disease continues to affect the larger Queensland population, Stage 2 restrictions have now been implemented by the Federal Government, restricting the movement of people to a point where persons are confined to their homes unless undertaking activities such as shopping for essential goods, medical appointments, school, going to work (where they can’t work from home) or exercising (no more than 2 people).

To slow the spread of novel coronavirus, the Queensland Government commenced restrictions on entry to Queensland from 12.01am on 26 March 2020. Under those restrictions anyone who arrives in Queensland from another state or territory must self- quarantine for 14 days, unless they are an exempt person. People who are exempt can apply for an entry pass.

Powers of a Disaster Declaration may be required to maintain and/or restore essential services to the community such as provision of general goods to sustain the essentials of life.

Because of this message, on the 23rd March 2020, the Queensland State Government declared a State of Disaster for Queensland and this plan commenced development in response. INDEX

This manual is not publicly available and is not for distribution and/or release to persons or agencies other than those identified in the Mornington Shire Council Local Disaster Management Plan.

1. Governance

1.1. Overview This Mornington Shire Council Pandemic Plan is to be read in conjunction with the Australian Health Management Plan for Pandemic Influenza 2014 (AHMPPI) and the Queensland Health Pandemic Influenza Plan, May 2018.

The AHMPPI is a comprehensive and detailed document that describes the high-level decisions and the broad approach the Australian health sector will take to respond to the pandemic. The Queensland Health Pandemic Influenza Plan details the actions the State Government will take and the roles of the Queensland disaster management system.

This sub plan does not reiterate the information contained in those two plans or other relevant plans such as the Queensland State Disaster Management Plan and the Queensland Health Disaster and Emergency Incident Plan.

1.2. Purpose The Mornington Shire Council Pandemic Plan provides the framework for pandemic planning.

1.3. Scope Queensland Health has functional lead-agency responsibility for a pandemic.

This Mornington Shire Council Pandemic Plan has been prepared to respond to a human influenza pandemic but can be readily adapted to suit any pandemic. The plan outlines the Mornington Shire Council Local Disaster Management Group’s role in providing support to the lead agency and in responding to local requirements in combating and managing any pandemic.

1.4. Objectives The objectives of this sub plan are to:

• Coordinate the LDMG’s actions and activities in response to a pandemic. • Specify Council priorities as that Mornington Shire Council can continue as a service provider and a disaster management response agency. • To harness the efforts of a range of organisations into an efficient coordinated public health response during disaster events that may have a major impact on public health. • To provide clear, concise and timely public health information to the Mornington Island Community and to the Local Disaster Management Group.

1.5. Assumptions This plan is based on assumptions that:

• There will be some warning of the pandemic. The initial outbreak is most likely to be overseas. • The Australian Government will announce the escalation from one alert level to another. • The community consequences will be managed in accordance with the Queensland Disaster Management Arrangements. • The Queensland Government will provide frameworks to coordinate activities across jurisdictional boundaries, including:

o Containment operations o Public communication o Maintenance of essential services, and o Social distancing measures

1.6. Plan development

This sub plan was developed by the LDMG with relevant stakeholders contributing to the content of this plan. Stakeholders have given an undertaking to continue supporting the efforts of personnel/agencies involved in influenza pandemic planning, and activation in the event of a pandemic outbreak.

1.7. Plan implementation

This document is a sub plan of the Mornington Island Local Disaster Management Plan (LDMP) and is to be used in conjunction with and complementary to the existing LDMP. It is not a stand-alone document.

2. Operations

A pandemic will not directly affect physical infrastructure or assets. However, its impacts will not be limited to positive COVID-19 cases. It is anticipated that many people may choose to withdraw from the workplace and from society in fear of becoming infected. Others will be unable to participate in normal activities because they are caring for children, family and friends.

The measures that governments may take to reduce the impacts of a pandemic include recommending travel restrictions and people adhere to hygiene messaging, avoid crowded places, closing schools and childcare centres, isolating infected persons and quarantining those without symptoms who have had close contact with infected persons. This could cause significant social disruption.

The Mornington Island community may need to find innovative ways to support each other while avoiding traditional activities that bring people together physically.

Community resilience is an important aspect in the event of a pandemic occurring and the LDMG is keen to support this resilience whilst ensuring an appropriate level of functioning continues of essential services to the local government area. In accordance with item 3.4, Mornington Shire Council Local Disaster Management Plan, the Mornington Shire Council LDMG has established the Mornington Island COVID-19 Working Group to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from the impacts of Pandemic event in the Mornington Island Community. 2.1. Mornington Island COVID-19 Working Group

The Mornington Island COVID-19 Working Group has been established to develop and implement local solutions in relation to the community consequences of the COVID-19 event. Queensland Health remain the lead State Government Agency and is a vital member of the Working Group.

Membership consists of

• Chair/Deputy Chair Mornington Island LDMG • LDC/Deputy LDC Mornington Shire Council LDMG (CEO, Mornington Shire Council) • Chair of the Mornington Island Health Council • Director of Nursing, • Officer-in-Charge, Mornington Island Police Station • Others invited to provide specialist advice as required.

2.2. Demographics Mornington Island has an official population of approximately 1500. The island is classified by the ABS as ‘Very remote’.

2.2.1. Vulnerable populations

As outlined in the Mornington Shire Council LDMP, Mornington Island is predominantly an indigenous community with significant health and mobility issues.

Identified high-risk residents are housed in various dwelling configurations with up to 20 persons in a single dwelling, therefore making isolation/quarantine requirements complicated. A list of identified vulnerable residents of Mornington Island is included as an attachment to this document.

2.2.2. Aged Care Facility

The Aged Care facility is owned by Mornington Shire Council and operated under licence by North West Remote Health Service Staff are adequately trained and understand the practices that need to be put in place for the management of disease outbreaks.

3. Prevention

Queensland Health encourages all persons residing or working on Mornington Island to have the annual influenza vaccination to minimise the potential of co-morbidity issues during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

There are many ways we can all help stop the spread of viruses

1. Clean your hands regularly with soap and water or alcohol-based hand rubs. 2. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue or bent elbow when coughing or sneezing. 3. Avoid touching your face, nose and mouth. And avoid shaking hands. 4. Stay home if you are unwell. 5. Practice social distancing, which includes staying 1.5m away from others as much as you can. Messaging throughout the community is very important about what residents and visitors can do to prevent the spread of a virus. Limiting visitation to elders or vulnerable persons is strongly recommended as they are more susceptible to infection.

Please also refer to the section entitled “Mass Gatherings”

3.1. Affected Individuals A heightened level of suspicion of cases with symptoms and history compatible with the current case definition for pandemic has now been implemented by the Mornington Island Hospital, including a single access point to the hospital and fever clinic. This creates a triage opportunity for those attending with medical issues before entering the hospital and Gidgee Healing services. See attachments: Mornington Island Hospital Current Plan – COVID-19, Gidgee Health COVID-19 Assessment Tool and QH COVID-19 Clinical Screening Assessment.

Following Queensland Health confirmation of a COVID-19 positive case on Mornington Island, the affected person/s will be required to self-isolate for 14 days to reduce the risk of community transmission.

Due to the rapid spread of Coronavirus throughout the world, any travel outside of the Island may have exposed individuals to this virus, which can cause serious illness in the community. These people will not be tested but need to self-quarantine for 14 days. Should they become ill during that time, they are tested and go into self-isolation.

Further information is required from Mornington Island Hospital (NWHHS) on the process they will be implementing on the first and subsequent diagnoses of COVID-19 on the island.

View the attached fact sheets on quarantine and self isolation for further information on how both should be implemented.

Support Services will be provided if required

The Mornington Shire Council LDMG acknowledges the island over-crowded housing situation which will impact an individual’s ability to quarantine and self isolate effectively and has identified the following alternative accommodation options.

3.1.1. Alternate Accommodation Options

Mornington Shire Council LDMG has identified local alternative accommodation options that could be used for isolation/quarantine of identified influenza patients. Mornington Island Council staff maintains this list.

• These include very limited commercial accommodation • Vacant or under-utilized DPHW accommodation • PCYC (not preferred option for isolation/quarantine)

Lack of accommodation on the Island is a significant concern, coupled with overcrowding maintaining quarantine and isolation will be extremely difficult. A full list of the island’s identified vulnerable persons is attached to this Plan. At 5 April 2020, alternate accommodation options are at near capacity raising the need for urgent action to be taken to meet future needs for quarantine/self-isolation. Agencies and organisations on the island have been advised to make arrangements for any of their staff/contractors that may require quarantine/isolation, without depleting the options that may be needed for emergency community cases and vulnerable peoples.

The list of alternate accommodation options is combined with the Self Isolation Register.

3.1.2. Self-Isolation Register Mornington Shire Council LDMG has developed a ‘Self-Isolation Register’ to establish an overall resource tracking location, duration and personal information of individuals completing their mandatory 14 day self quarantine/self isolation period, and maintains available/alternate accommodation options for real-time usage.

The register provides current island status of quarantine/isolation numbers and available accommodation, and enables those undertaking welfare and spot checks enforcing self isolation periods (QPS) to track and conduct these checks ensuring individuals complete their full isolation period, are coping and are not risking transmission to other members of the community.

For the purpose of this plan, self-isolation and self-quarantine are defined below:

Self-isolation – those people that meet the testing criteria (i.e. are sick and either travelled overseas or had close contact with confirmed case) and have been tested and are awaiting their test results. This group to self-isolate for 14 days (even if the results come back negative).

Self-quarantine – those people that are not sick but have travelled or had close contact with a confirmed case. These people will not be tested but need to self-quarantine for 14 days. Should they become ill during that time, they are tested and go into self-isolation.

The intention is that unless the above two groups are severely ill, they would go home, or if can’t go home due to other people living in the same residence, they would go into separate accommodation.

In some cases, this isolation/quarantine accommodation will be hotels, motels, and caravan parks. In other cases, this will be in council owned facilities.

It is evident from the register that Mornington Island faces considerable challenges in the lack of available accommodation for large numbers of people. A simple cross reference of the vulnerable persons list with available accommodation to support them highlights the concern in this area.

3.1.3. Cost recovery of accommodating Queensland Health patients

Queensland Health may cover the cost of persons accommodated in any of the accommodation options noted above.

3.1.4. Monitoring of Queensland Health patients in arranged accommodation

Queensland Health will determine if a person/s require ongoing medical monitoring. Most people in isolation will be required to self-monitor their health with the most severe cases being hospitalised either in Mount Isa or other suitable health facilities. A communication strategy for people going into isolation/quarantine will be developed by Queensland Health outlining the entry and exit strategy for their isolation/quarantine period.

Provision of food and medicines is outlined below in section 4.2 and 4.3.

3.2. Care Plans – Families and Bubs Gidgee Healing are adopting a ‘Family Care Plan’ and ‘Bub’s Care Plan’ to ensure these vulnerable members of the community are taken into consideration prior to any notification of the virus on the island, and will be working with families to complete.

3.3. Local Leaders and LDMG personal

During all disaster events, the community looks to its local leaders to provide assurance, confidence and guidance. As such LDMG members are always to strictly adhere to Queensland Health recommended Health and Hygiene practices and abide by social distancing rules. Once community transmissions are evident in the Mount Isa Disaster District, MISC and LDMG members will cease face-to-face contact thereby reducing the risk of leadership collapsing within the Mornington Island community in the time of greatest need. Leaders will use either teleconferencing or other digital commuting practices to continue to meet and discuss emerging issues.

3.4. Restricted Access and Permits From 12.01am on Thursday 26 March 2020, strict border controls were enacted in Queensland for all access points. Further to this, on 23 March 2020, the State Disaster Declaration was approved by the State Disaster Coordinator (QLD), this declaration includes the restriction of access and entry into Mornington Shire from Mainland Australia, made under the Biosecurity Act 2015. The Biosecurity Act prevents anyone from entering the restricted area unless permission has been granted.

In response to these measures, Mornington Shire Council LDMG implemented a permit system effective from Monday 30 March 2020. Currently this action requires all individuals intending to travel to or from Mornington Island to apply for a permit to the LDMG, to be approved by the CEO Mornington Shire Council. On arrival to Mornington Island all individuals must commence a mandatory 14 day quarantine period. Exemptions for essentials services will be considered on a case-by-case scenario. See section 10.1 for full arrivals process.

This process is currently in conflict with neighbouring LGAs, specifically Doomadgee and Burke Shire areas, who have instructed all individuals to complete a mandatory 14 day quarantine period prior to travelling to their area. Attached is the ‘Remote Communities (Designated areas) - Biosecurity Determination 2020 Decision Making Framework’ from QPS which differs from the Mornington Shire Council LDMG policy which requires 14 day mandatory quarantine period on arrival – not prior to arrival. Permit conditions may change in the future should the Queensland Government provide direction on a uniform process in relation to access to restricted areas.

The conflicting processes within the region are seen as a challenge when working to educate and communicate essential service staff and community members of the requirements. 3.5. Alcohol Management Plan Mornington Shire has an Alcohol Management Plan in place that prohibits the possession of alcohol within the Shire boundary. There is no capacity to apply to the Queensland State Government for an exemption to the current Plan that is in place.

3.6. Outstations and Homelands It has become abundantly clear that the preference for large family units within Gununa is to move back to outstations for the duration of the virus event. This may also include outer Wellesley Islands. Whilst these outstations are effectively ‘bush camps’ of varying degrees of sophistication, the initial view appears to be positive and a part-solution to assist in alleviating over-crowding issues while reducing chance of exposure to COVID-19.

It does however bring about it’s own set of considerations and potential issues. Gidgee Healing has been working to establish a risk management plan for those families wanting to return to outstations, and raised concerns around accessibility, telephone connection, and access to immediate health services if someone becomes ill with virus.

A query regarding the State Government’s position on outstations and homelands was put to Dr Stephen Donohue (CHO’s nominated contact point) who was supportive of the proposal. He did however raise the need to track who was returning to which locations in a bid to reduce the risk of overlap between those escaping the current stresses, those in quarantine, and those in self isolation (in the case of suspected infection). Social distancing rules would still apply and be strongly encouraged.

Attached is the draft ‘Risk Assessment Plan – Mornington Island Outstations and Homelands’ which will be used to identify family members considered high risk in relation to the health pandemic and classify family members that are vulnerable in preparation for first reported case within the NWHHS Region. It is noted that there will be a considerable wait time for individuals who present for the screening and health checks, with a screening station process currently proposed for consideration. The need to introduce a permit system in order to track outstation/homeland stays has also been raised.

4. Essential Services

Under the Biosecurity (Human Biosecurity Emergency) (Human Coronavirus with Pandemic Potential) (Emergency Requirements for Remote Communities) Determination 2020 declared by the Minister for Health on 26 March 2020, the following roles are considered ‘essential’ for the continuation of services within the Mornington Island Community.

• Medical e.g. Doctors, nurses and other essential health workers • Police, Fire Services, Paramedics and Emergency Management • Compulsory education providers e.g. Teachers • Public utilities e.g. Electricity, telecommunications, sewerage, water etc. • Trades (where there are no available personnel already on the island) • Other services, as are listed in the Biosecurity Determination 2020 and as approved by the Chief Executive Officer, Mornington Island Shire Council Individual agencies and organisations are responsible for enacting their own Business Continuity Plans to ensure service delivery continues for the Mornington Island community. 4.1. Medical and Health Services Generally, the North West Health & Hospital Services and Mornington Island Hospital provide a primary level of acute care services. Generally, Gidgee Healing provides less acute primary health services, now operating in collaboration with the hospital. The community is serviced by the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) and QH specialists as required. The RFDS have advised their continued support of the region during this event.

Mornington Island Hospital has confirmed they have undertaken significant business continuity planning to address staffing and resource supply issues for the Mornington Island Health Service. Refer to the attached ‘Mornington Island Hospital current plan – COVID-19'. It is noted however, the health service relies heavily on external staff and during a Pandemic, access to this specifically skilled workforce may become difficult. As a component of the Mornington Island Hospital Business Continuity Plan, any staffing or resource issues are escalated to the Mount Isa Hospital and Health Service for action.

In the case of a Pandemic, the risk of an increase in fatalities is higher especially given the number of high-risk complex health issues amongst the Mornington Island Community this may rapidly overwhelm the mortuary capability. Mornington Island Hospital have now implemented a single access point to the hospital and a fever clinic initiated in the front of the hospital to enable assessment of suspicious cases and mitigate the risk of exposure to the public and healthcare worker. Access to Gidgee Healing is no longer permitted through the hospital.

Gidgee Healing have also implemented a COVID-19 Assessment Tool to be used when a patient rings seeking an assessment for COVID-19.

4.2. Medicines The Mornington Island Hospital Pharmacy is supplied by the Mount Isa Hospital however any issues with continued medicine supply will be escalated through the Mount Isa Hospital and Health Service in accordance with their internal policy arrangements.

All isolated/quarantine persons will be required to contact Queensland Health advising of their need for prescription medications. This service is only available if the scripts are on file at the hospital and can be delivered.

Some panic buying in mainstream communities may cause temporary shortages of general over-the-counter medicines such as paracetamol, ibuprofen and Ventolin. However, this is not expected to impact the Pharmacy for long periods of time, thereby ensuring safe supply for the island’s health service. The uncertainty around the ongoing Rex service may cause considerable impact to the accessibility of medications on island to both individuals and the health system and is of serious concern to the LDMG.

4.3. Food Supply The Mornington Island community is serviced by the Mornington Island Store. The Supermarket supplies a wide range of goods such as white goods through to fresh, frozen, packaged and canned food items. Supplies are regularly barged in from Karumba.

The current delivery schedule is as follows: Wednesday – Dry and Frozen foods. The Mornington Island Store Supermarket prefers the use EFTPOS cards over cash and can fulfil phone orders.

Should Mornington Island Store have difficulty in obtaining goods from their suppliers due to a nationwide shortage or distribution issue, Mornington Island Store have agreed to advise the Mornington Shire Council LDMG Chair or the Officer-in-Charge, Mornington Island Police of the situation and work collaboratively to identify possible solutions. A Request for Assistance may be considered for escalation through the Mount Isa District Disaster Coordination Centre if required.

Transportation of goods to the island is considered an essential service and will not be impacted by any travel bans which may be implemented by government. Mornington Island Store have recently reported increased price hikes in products i.e broccoli at $45/kg. These issues have been experienced across other remote areas and stores, and has been referred to the ACCC and Attorney General in a bid to ensure no profiteering from the current circumstances occurs. Store management have agreed to advise the Mornington Shire Council LDMG Chair if any similar issues arise again.

For people isolating in their own dwelling, family and friends will be required to provide essential supplies such as food and medicines. Where the patient has no external or family support, Queensland Health will liaise with the to arrange support services for the patient.

4.4. Fuel /Gas Please refer to Mornington Island LDMP for a list of hazardous sites which may contain fuel and gas storage. There is not expected to be a shortage of fuel and/or gas for island residents unless essential services transportation is ceased.

4.5. Public Utilities Mornington Island Shire Council is currently enhancing their Business Continuity Planning in the event of a Pandemic to mitigate adverse impacts of the emerging COVID-19 outbreak and ensuring continuation of critical business and the health and safety of the Mornington Island community. The safety of the community and staff is the main priority.

It is recognised that Council has staff on island to operate and/or repair essential water and sewerage infrastructure if the need arises. If required, assistance is available through a current arrangement with a neighbouring Local Government Authority to support critical infrastructure operations.

4.6. Existing Environmental Health Arrangements Mornington Island has a range of Council procedures and standards for provision of sound environmental health in the community. These are to be used to provide Public Health services to the community. The Council will escalate any request for additional resources through the Mornington Shire Council LDMG and Mount Isa District Disaster Management Group if required.

4.7. Funerals/Sorry business Mornington Shire Council LDMG is a central point of contact for advice to family members organising funerals. This practice will continue throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Council are well placed to address any increase in this area of service delivery, and will escalate any requests for approval. 4.8. Transportation Mornington Island is mainly serviced by Barge from Karumba and the REX RPT (Regional Public Transport)

In the event of a Pandemic and given the right enforcement powers, Mornington Island is in a unique situation of being able to control human and other traffic to and from the island. Direction will be taken from the Queensland State Disaster Management Committee on Mornington Shire Council LDMG authority to close the island to all commuters (air and sea) and thereby effectively reducing the risk of virus transmission to the vulnerable persons in the Mornington Island Community. This of course will need to be accompanied by the appropriate enforcement powers for the Queensland Police Service.

REX has recently engaged in concerning behaviour, continuing to withdraw services to the Gulf region even after financial support confirmed by the Queensland Government. Negotiations are ongoing with REX guaranteeing a reduced schedule until the 8 April 2020 at which time a further decision will be announced. A total suspension of all REX services may proceed at this time.

It is recognised, the Mornington Island Community has a large number of personal boats that will travel between Mornington Island and mainland. When identified, Mornington Island QPS officers will work with neighbouring authorities in an attempt to curb this activity. Mornington Shire Council LDMG will also seek the neighbouring Local Governments support in restricting this practice.

The uncertain future of the REX RPT service provides significant challenges on many fronts, but primarily the provision of reliable health services. Reduced flight schedules will greatly impact the delivery and availability of medications and supplies, the delivery of pathology, and transport of patients and expectant mothers off island for treatment, appointments and childbirth. Members of the LDMG are working with partners/stakeholders to mitigate against any risk that potential flight cancellations from 8 April may cause.

4.9. Schools & education Federal Government advice at this time is for schools to remain open and available for students to attend. Parents are recommended to keep children home where possible, however the option to send them to their schools is available. In Queensland, the Term 1 break will begin on Monday 30 March 2020 for all state school students. Five student free days have been declared for Monday 30 March – Friday 3 April 2020. Staff of state schools and community kindergartens will begin their Term 1 break on Monday 6 April. Schools will reopen to students and staff on Monday, 20 April 2020 unless health authorities advise otherwise. During the period 30 March to 3 April, schools will continue to provide a program of care and supervision for children of essential workers.

Mornington Island State School has been liaising with North Queensland Regional Office and the State Government Queensland Department of Education, regarding the imminent lockdown of the Mornington Island Community, which is expected to take effect from Monday 30 March 2020. A School Response Team has been established to coordinate planning and responses for Mornington Island State School. The principal is working with the LDMG and Regional Office to support the lockdown and maintain continuity of services. See attachment ‘Mornington Island State School Response Plan’. 5. Mass Gatherings

Mornington Shire Council LDMG are working with businesses and community groups, to assist them following the Australian Government's direction which states that the one person per four square metre rule applies to all gatherings. Whilst preference is for no visitors to your home, with only those who reside in the premises to be in attendance, you may have up to two visitors who are family or close friends. Extended family gatherings, barbeques, birthday parties and house parties are not permitted. The following gatherings are restricted:

• Weddings – no more than 5 people in attendance including the bride and groom • Funerals – no more than 10 people are to attend • Exercise – no more than 2 people

For the most recent advice relating to Mass Gatherings please refer to the Australian Government, Department of Health. These rules are enforceable and carry a significant penalty for non-compliance.

6. Community Information and Messaging

The Mornington Shire Council LDMG and Mornington Island Shire Council will continue to provide strong leadership to their community and will focus the messaging on locally relevant information.

Mornington Shire Council LDMG through its members will continue to support Queensland Health community messaging. NWHHS continues to seek assistance from Council’s to share messaging around community regarding loved ones in isolation/quarantine and how they can support.

The LDMG will be the single point of contact for the collation and dissemination of information for the Mornington Island Community. Members are then responsible for on forwarding information on their noticeboards and social media networks. Only information from the LDMG MSC should be disseminated throughout the community. A COVID-19 Communication Strategy will be developed for implementation at Stage 3.

With the large volumes of information circulating both through formal and informal channels, and the near daily change in messaging and restrictions, it is imperative the Mornington Shire Council LDMG provides a consistent, accurate flow of information to residents. Direction should be taken from official channels for use of correct terminology, specifically relating to such topics as isolation and quarantine. See attached COVID-19 Home (Self) Isolation Fact Sheet and COVID-19 Quarantine Fact Sheet.

7. Resources

It is imperative to emphasise that current resources across the various organisations are unable to cope with the demands of COVID-19 whilst maintaining continuity of other essential services and activities. To date, the expectations and increased workloads being placed on Mornington Shire Council, Queensland Health, QPS and Emergency Services are not sustainable ongoing and assistance from the likes of Australian Defence Force are urgently required. Mornington Shire Council LDMG is currently developing an application seeking urgent resource support on the ground from the ADF to assist in such tasks as community communications, welfare checks on isolated individuals, and additional alternate accommodation options amongst other things.

Mornington Island Hospital has confirmed they have undertaken significant business continuity planning to address staffing and resource supply issues for the Mornington Island Health Service. Refer to the attached ‘Mornington Island Hospital current plan – COVID-19'. It is noted however, the health service relies heavily on external staff and during a Pandemic, access to this specifically skilled workforce may become difficult. As a component of the Mornington Island Hospital Business Continuity Plan, any staffing or resource issues are escalated to the Mount Isa Hospital and Health Service for action.

Gidgee Healing has also outlined concerns around resources (see attached Gidgee Healing Pandemic Disease Guideline) and notes: a pandemic may cause significant absenteeism across all workforces, due to employees being ill, or needing to take leave to look after sick family members; to serve quarantine periods; or to self-isolate. Some employees may not wish to come to work simply out of fear of becoming ill. This represents a significant threat to usual conduct of business and will demand prioritising of our essential services, adjusting work practices and resourcing arrangements to maintain business continuity.

Factors affecting attendance may include: • Very high absenteeism due to illness or caring for family • Exposure to a pandemic disease • Absence based on fear and anxiety • Stringent infection control measures in both the community and workplace • Reduced transport • Restrictions from returning home due to personal or work related travel • Impact on possible deaths and serious illness among families, friends and work colleagues.

8. Volunteers

QFES volunteers (SES or Rural Fire Service) and Community Development Program (CDP) participants have agreed to support Queensland Health (NWH&HS) with any unskilled tasks such as delivery of food, goods and transportation around the island.

NWHHS will continue to see support from Council’s to notify community that should their loved one be in isolation/quarantine, they will need to support them by providing food to them. For those who have no family in community, a need to identify volunteers who may be able to assist with bringing food to this cohort and other essential tasks will need to occur.

9. Recovery

Recovery process will align with the Queensland Recovery Plan and Mornington Island Community Recovery Sub Plan as it adheres to the Principals of Disaster Recovery and outlines flexible community led approaches. 10. Tier One activities to reduce the risk of COVID-19 in Mornington Island

10.1. Transport All arrivals at Mornington Island will;

• Require a permit to travel to and from Mornington Island. • Commencing 30th March 2020, residents returning to Mornington Island will be subject to a mandatory 14-day quarantine process. • Undergo medical testing and assessment of arrivals – conducted in partnership by Mornington Island Hospital and GIDGEE HEALING. • All arrivals will be transported directly to their nominated quarantine (or self isolation) address. • Policing presence as a security overlay at these arrival assessments including the discharge special powers. • Essential travel to the Island will not be restricted however visiting practitioners will limit their business to their specific task and not engage within the community. • Commercial Flights and charter aircraft arrivals are scheduled and are controlled and not expected to present challenge. • CASA has agreed not to approve any flight plans until permits are confirmed with charter company. • Recreational boat movements can be expected from nearby mainland gulf locations and will present a threat to controlled movements. • Increased mobile patrols and water police patrols will be necessary to give effect to the community’s plan. • Due to this quarantine process, a 4-week deployment will result in effectively 2 weeks work.

10.2. Quarantine and Isolation facilities

• The community may establish facilities for vulnerable persons to voluntarily isolate. The PCYC building, GEH Cabins and vacant public houses may be utilised for this purpose. • The symptomatic community members, not requiring hospitalisation, may be isolated in community facilities. • These arrangements will be similar to management and staffing of a post event evacuation facility. • Increased 24-hour policing capacity with specific skills will be required at these facilities to keep order and contribute to the management team. • PCYC building may be better suited to an extended triage facility for use by NWHHS.

10.3. Response agencies and roles On 20 March 2020 the Prime Minister of Australia announced “The federal government will restrict access to some remote communities under the Biosecurity Act to try to prevent the spread of the coronavirus amongst vulnerable Indigenous populations.

Under the measures announced by Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Friday, access to identified at-risk areas will be limited to essential services”. On the back of this announcement, Mornington Shire Council activated its Local Disaster Management Group (LDMG) to commence planning and action to mitigate risk of residents of Mornington Island contracting COVID-19. The following is a list of agencies, government departments and service providers who are contributing to the planning and action processes.

Mornington Shire Council – elected representative body for Mornington Shire which incorporates the twenty-two (22) islands of the Wellesley group in the Gulf of Carpentaria.

Gununa on Mornington Island is a remote community with an estimated population of 1,600 people. The majority of the population being first nations people who are identified as "Aboriginal people are four times as exposed as other people” “With the level of chronic disease and co-morbidity amongst our patients and particularly our older patients in our remote communities... their chances of surviving this, if they get it, are very low” (www.smh 2).

Council is currently led by hr Mayor Bradley Wilson, Deputy Mayor Jane Ah Kit and Councillor Thompson. The Chief Executive Officer is Frank Mills who has a staff of 106 to deliver a variety of services to Mornington Island.

MORNINGTON ISLAND HOSPITAL | CURRENT PLAN FOR COVID-19

Enhanced case identification

Early detection of suspected cases is essential for both effective surveillance and minimising the impact of the pandemic.

Case identification and contact tracing will be conducted in accordance with the Public Health Act 2005, state plans,

Series of National Guidelines and CDNA National Guidelines for Public Health Units on the control of communicable diseases.

Key actions include:

• A heightened level of suspicion of cases with symptoms and history compatible with the current case definition for pandemic – Mornington Island Hospital has implemented single point access to the facility with inclusion of the state wide COVID -19 Clinical Assessment Tool which has been developed with the intent to enable Hospital and Health Services (HHSs) to appropriately assess the suitability for COVID-19 screening as well as capture the outcome of the assessment and referral follow-up requirements. Visiting family has not been limited to one at a time. Heat testing applies to all visitors. Fever clinic has been initiated in the front of the hospital to enable assessment of suspicious cases and mitigate the risk of exposure to the public and healthcare workers. • Access to Gidgee is no longer permitted through the hospital. • Consistent testing and treatment of suspected pandemic cases – All QHealth staff agency nurses and Gidgee working at Mornington Island Hospital have had appropriate training on PPE, testing guideline’s and correct escalation process for suspected cases. • Consistent urgent notification to Mt Isa Hospital Townsville Public Health Unit, Mornington Shire Council, LDMG and all other key stakeholders of suspected and confirmed cases of pandemic. • Suspicion of cases with symptoms and history compatible with the current case definition for pandemic will be supplied with a surgical mask for the patient to don immediately. • The patient will be reviewed immediately by Medical Officer and isolated in a single room placement with door closed. The room has isolated air-conditioning from the rest of the hospital. • The staff have increased the cleaning of all surfaces that may have been contaminated with the patient’s respiratory secretions (i.e. counter top, door handle, and chair).

Staff management

In the event of a pandemic, Mornington Island Hospital has made the following consideration to ensure appropriate management of the workforce, while providing an effective continuation of service:

Workplace health and safety matters:

Increase in nursing staff has already commenced, as we can appreciate the hospital relies on agency nurses. Current agency nurses’ contracts have been extended with additional agency under recruitment process to ensure services can continue during the pandemic.

Consideration of level of skill/knowledge and abilities of the nurses to enable safe clinical practice within scope of practice has been implemented with rapid upskilling commenced.

A risk management approach to our own staff and their risk of exposure and potential complications has taken place with some staff categorised in the ‘’vulnerable’’. These staff identified will have modified working conditions / role descriptions through the pandemic.

Managing ill workers:

During a pandemic, the potential for staff illness will increase. Where appropriate, symptomatic staff will be excluded from work and unwell staff will be referred directly to medical practitioner for assessment, diagnosis, treatment and where appropriate advice about safe return to the workplace.

Training:

• Personal Protective Equipment • COVID screening and escalation process – directed by Health Service Directive • Upskilling • Infection Control - directed by the Infection Control Team and Health Service Directive • Management of COVID • Isolation Room requirements – directed by State Experts • Isolation Cohorting

Expecting Mothers

• Future Expected due dates have been taken into consideration • Travel has been organised for expected due date in May to be in Mt Isa in April and to stay for confinement. • NWHHS has arrange accommodation for each during the time of confinement. • Itineraries will become available soon and will be disseminated.

COVID-19 ASSESSMENT TOOL (Script)

When a person telephones in and enquires after an assessment for COVID-19, use the following Script to give advice.

Start with the question on the left-hand side and work your way across the matrix, ask the questions dependant on their answers as this will enable you to reach the advice that should be given to the enquirer. If the person who has made contact is enquiring after someone else, substitute the word ‘you’ for the correct wording i.e. ‘the child’, ‘your friend’, ‘the person’ etc. For example, reword the question, “Are you feeling unwell with symptoms such as fever, sore throat, cough or shortness of breath?” to be “Are you feeling unwell with symptoms such as fever, sore throat, cough or shortness of breath?”

Ask Them Answer Ask Them Answer Advise Are you feeling Have you travelled overseas in the We recommend you see a doctor immediately.

Pandemic Diseases Guideline

Policy Statement: Employee Well-Being Gidgee Healing aims to nurture a healthy workforce by providing information and opportunities to participate in healthy lifestyle options and promoting access to support and intervention options for employees who need assistance to address and resolve either work-related or personal issues, impacting their health and well-being.

Policy Statement: Workplace Health and Safety Gidgee Healing is committed to caring for employees; including through investing in well-being support services, provision of a safe & healthy workplace and the adoption of a systematic approach to prevention and management of risk. Gidgee Healing is committed to providing staff, students, visitors, volunteers and contractors with a safe working environment that is free of health hazards, inclusive of pandemic diseases. Gidgee Healing assigns the highest priority to assessing, minimising and managing the risks to the Gidgee Healing community of being exposed to pandemic diseases.

Guideline: Topics covered in this guideline include: 1.0 Background Information 2.0 Definitions 3.0 Responsibilities 4.0 Identification and Clinical Management of Pandemic Diseases - Procedure 5.0 Gidgee Healing Response to Employees Affected by Pandemic Disease – Procedure 6.0 Important Information – Health and Well-Being

1.0 Background Information A number of pandemic diseases such as Coronavirus, HIV/AIDS, Ebola, SARS and Influenza have caused regional or global epidemics that resulted in high mortality rates or economic losses. The World Health Organisation (WHO) states that “emerging and re-emerging pandemic diseases pose an on-going threat to global health security.” Population growth and increased interaction between people, animals and the environment over the coming decades are expected to increase the emergence of new pandemic threats, including zoonotic diseases, which have the potential to impact upon Gidgee Healing’s employees.

2.0 Definitions Term Definition Coronavirus Any of a group of RNA viruses that cause a variety of diseases in humans and other animals. Ebola Virus Previously known as Ebola Haemorrhagic Fever, it is a severe, often fatal illness in humans. The Disease (EVD) virus is transmitted to people from wild animals and spreads in the human population through human-to human transmission. Epidemic Occurs when the incident rate (i.e. new cases in a given human population, during a given period) of a certain disease substantially exceeds what is ‘expected’, based on recent experience. Influenza Occurs when a new influenza virus emerges and spreads around the world, and most people do doc_791_Pandemic Disease Guideline_v1 (1).docx © This document is the property of Gidgee Healing Once printed this document is considered an uncontrolled version.

Pandemic not have immunity. Viruses that have caused past pandemics typically originated from animal influenza viruses. Some aspects of influenza pandemics can appear similar to seasonal influenza while other characteristics may be quite different. Pandemic An epidemic of an infectious disease that spreads through human populations across a large region, like a continent. Severe Acute A viral respiratory disease of zoonotic origin caused by the SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV). There Respiratory is a high probability that SARS coronavirus originated in bats and spread to humans either Syndrome directly or through animals held in Chinese markets. (SARS) Zoonotic Can be passed between animals and humans. Zoonotic diseases can be caused by viruses, Disease bacteria, parasites, and fungi. These diseases are very common. The WHO states that approximately 60% of pandemic diseases are zoonotic.

3.0 Responsibilities Gidgee Healing have a responsibility to ensure that they: a. Subscribe to the International SOS advisory service and monitor Commonwealth, and State health directives and advice, and assess and manage the risks that are identified in these communications; b. Monitor and comply with the Department of Trade and Foreign Affair’s (DFAT) ‘do not travel’ warnings and significantly restrict travel to destinations where DFAT advises to ‘reconsider your need to travel’; c. Comply with current guidelines for minimising its exposure to pandemic diseases, such as the Communicable Diseases Network of Australia (CDNA) Infection Control Guidelines; d. Notify state health departments if there is a significant risk that any of its employees have been affected with a pandemic disease, and Gidgee Healing will comply with any Government requests to supply the personal information that is associated with these exposures; and e. Comply with Australian quarantine requirements in response to advice from Government health departments when there is a significant possibility Gidgee Healing’s employees pose an infection risk.

Employees have a responsibility to ensure that they: a. Consult recent guidelines, issued by DFAT, International SOS and other services to assess and manage the risks of travelling to high risk locations; b. Comply with DFAT’s ‘do not travel’ warnings and obtain Senior Management approval for any travel to locations that DFAT advises to ‘reconsider your need to travel’; c. Ensure that they protect themselves from pandemic diseases and be aware of their health status; and d. Notify Gidgee Healing of any actual or possible disease exposures; and e. Do not attend work or any work related event if they are feeling unwell or suspect they have a disease or it is confirmed they have a disease covered by this Guideline.

4.0 Identification and Clinical Management of Pandemic Diseases – Procedure

4.1 Strategy initiated and coordinated by the Gidgee Healing Senior Medical Officer in conjunction with Gidgee Healing’s Executive Leadership Team and in accordance with Public Health advice.

4.2 Establish Gidgee Healing Network Pandemic Response Working Group/s doc_791_Pandemic Disease Guideline_v1 (1).docx © This document is the property of Gidgee Healing Once printed this document is considered an uncontrolled version. Refer to the LOGIQC QMS for the current approved version. Page 2 of 8

For each pandemic disease Gidgee Healing will establish a Working Group with a variety of expertise from across the Gidgee Healing network. This Working Group will be represented by clinicians, community liaison / engagement, Marketing and Communications, Deadly Choices, and Public Health expertise. This group will meet as regularly as required to advance a customised approach for the network and client population and community, including: • Communication strategy within our own service network; • Comprehensive communication strategy targeting clients and community – including social media, radio, flyers, group education / information sessions, toolkits for front-line staff including CLOs, receptionists, transport officers, in-home workers, DC workers, etc.; • Clinic guidelines and toolkits; • Regional coordination of supplies – this includes warehousing regional stock e.g. Personal Protective Equipment, medicines, vaccines, and other supplies as indicated, as well as coordinating the inventory and potential movement / exchange of stock across the region if supplies become stretched; • Planning for special groups and circumstances including aged care services, dental services, transport services and others, as well as planning ahead for contingencies in relation to non- essential events and services; and • Workforce capacity – planning for a rise in service demand as well as the potential for our workforce to be directly affected / requiring sick leave, etc.

4.3 Request for Additional and/or Immediate Assistance, Support or Information

Gidgee Healing will establish a key contact to provide a single point of reference for queries and for information collection and collation, and to assist staff to access support as required. This may include directing staff to national or state hotlines established specifically for this purpose during a pandemic, to external services and supports or to supports provided within the Gidgee Healing network itself.

Depending on the nature of the pandemic and on available resources, Gidgee Healing may establish a temporary clinical response service to provide direct support to staff who may not otherwise be able to readily access health care during a disease outbreak. This may include telephone or face-to-face consultation and advice.

5.0 Gidgee Healing’s Response to Employees Affected by Pandemic Disease - Procedure

A pandemic may cause significant absenteeism across all workforces, due to employees being ill, or needing to take leave to look after sick family members; to serve quarantine periods; or to self-isolate. Some employees may not wish to come to work simply out of fear of becoming ill. This represents a significant threat to usual conduct of business and will demand prioritising of our essential services, adjusting work practices and resourcing arrangements to maintain business continuity.

Factors affecting attendance may include: • Very high absenteeism due to illness or caring for family doc_791_Pandemic Disease Guideline_v1 (1).docx © This document is the property of Gidgee Healing Once printed this document is considered an uncontrolled version. Refer to the LOGIQC QMS for the current approved version. Page 3 of 8

• Exposure to a pandemic disease • Absence based on fear and anxiety • Stringent infection control measures in both the community and workplace • Reduced transport • Restrictions from returning home due to personal or work related travel • Impact on possible deaths and serious illness among families, friends and work colleagues.

Under normal circumstances, casual staff don’t have access to leave, however, Gidgee may need to consider these staff on a case by case basis.

To ensure employees are supported during these times, Gidgee may apply any of the following work practices or Options to ensure all endeavours are made to align resourcing arrangements to business continuity:

Option 1 Working from Home opportunities in accordance with our policies as amended from time to time.

Option 2 Access to Personal Carer’s leave in accordance with our policies as amended from time to time

Option 3 Access to Annual Leave or another available paid leave type (e.g. Long Service Leave) in accordance with our policies as amended from time to time.

Option 4 Access to Leave without Pay in accordance with our policies as amended from time to time.

Option 5* Access to Pandemic Disease – Special Leave in accordance with our policies as amended from time to time *This option is endorsed by the Manager and approved by the relevant OMT/ELT Representative.

In the first instance, if an employee is affected in any way by a pandemic disease, they must immediately notify their Manager. The priority or sequence of the five Options listed above, will be dependent upon the various scenarios that an employee might face with respect to a pandemic disease – see table 1.

5.1 Principles The following principles are applied when considering how any of the Options will be applied: • if an employee is ill, then they will need to access their leave and not work from home; • Personal leave won’t be available to employees who are otherwise fine but want to stay away from the workplace due to panic; • Special Leave is preserved for employees who are well but subject to home isolation & can’t work from home; • If an employee needs to care for a family member, then normal personal/carers leave should be used.

Employee Scenarios doc_791_Pandemic Disease Guideline_v1 (1).docx © This document is the property of Gidgee Healing Once printed this document is considered an uncontrolled version. Refer to the LOGIQC QMS for the current approved version. Page 4 of 8

# Special leave will be for the period from isolation to the end of the quarantine period unless otherwise determined by Gidgee Healing. ## Special leave for the period from isolation until the testing result is available unless otherwise determined by Gidgee Healing.

Once any quarantine period has been served, the employee can return to the workplace. If they are still feeling unwell they will need to discuss Options 2 to 4 with their Manager.

6.0 Important Information – Health and Well-Being 6.1 Public Health Advice Employees are advised to heed the public health advice specific to the pandemic, links to which will be circulated and updated regularly by Gidgee Healing during the pandemic.

6.2 Employee Travel – International Destination It is important for employees to consider limiting and/or ceasing any short to medium term plans with overseas travel. If the employee wishes to continue with existing travel arrangements, it is important that they share this information with their Manager. Subject to the employee’s travel destination, there may be a requirement to effect clause following their return to Australia. However, if an employee has made travel arrangements and is experiencing difficulty in either changing or cancelling their fare/s, Gidgee Healing can assist in the provision of evidence to your Travel Provider of this policy to support any application for a refund or future credit. If this is the case, please bring this matter to the immediate attention of your Manager.

6.3 Employee Assistance Program A pandemic can be a stressful time for employees and their immediate family and Gidgee Healing has the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), which is a confidential counselling and advisory service delivered by Assure Programs. They can contacted on 1800 808 374 and for more detailed information about this counselling service, please refer to doc_623_Employee Assistance Program in LogiQC.
