E-Blast to QDN Members – COVID-19 Resources for Queenslanders with Disability
This is an important time for everyone in our community. People with disability, their family and carers need the facts about COVID-19. People also need to be able to think through what they need to make a plan for how they will act together with their support network during this public health emergency.
QDN is working with the Queensland Government to ensure Queenslanders with disability can get the information, resources and tools they need to prepare for this evolving COVID-19 pandemic. QDN is pleased to release the first in a suite of resources and tools to give people with disability information about getting the facts, making a plan, what you can do to slow down the spread of the virus and where to go if you need help.
We have developed 3 new accessible resources. The topics are:
- What is Coronavirus (COVID-19)?
- What does Self-quarantine Mean?
- Coronavirus (COVID-19) Essential Items Checklist
