Hand Sanitiser Safety and Children: NSW Health is reminding parents that alcohol-based hand sanitiser is dangerous if ingested, particularly for children. The NSW Poisons Information Centre said while hand sanitiser is an important tool in stopping the spread of COVID-19, it has seen a spike in the number of calls due to hand sanitiser exposure incidents, mostly by babies and young children ingesting it at home. Hand sanitiser products should be stored safely and out of reach of children. When they are used by young children it should be under the supervision of an adult. Washing hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds is also a safe and effective option to help combat COVID-19. For advice on possible poisoning, please contact the 24 hour Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26.

Stay Active At Home: Are you looking for ways to support and encourage older adults to stay active at home during the COVID-19 pandemic? Simply head to www.activeandhealthy.nsw.gov.au/staying-active/exercise-at-home

Contributions Welcome: With the current COVID-19 pandemic we would love to hear from you! Please email your Be Seen photos, Stork News, Way Back When photos and story, Engagement News, Wedding Bells, Letter to the Editor or any other exciting story ideas to editor@canowindraphoenix.com.au or phone 6344 1846.

Fun Fact: Did you know it is only 253 days until Christmas? Why not start your shop- ping now while you have some spare time on your hands at home and remember to #BuyFromTheBush.

Library in your pocket: Did you know that you can borrow and download eBooks and eAudiobooks from the Central West Libraries (CWL) online using the BorrowBox app and your CWL membership number.

ANZAC Day Poppies: If you are looking for something to do during your seclusion why not join Jenny Middleton in making red crepe paper poppies for a display in the HACC window for ANZAC Day. No stems just the flower petals, any size and any design you like but they must be red. Please drop off your completed poppies to Jenny or at the Newsagency by Wednesday 22nd April 2020.

Help the CWA and make a red crepe paper poppy for ANZAC Day.
