With the continuing spread of the COVID-19 Coronavirus threatening to overwhelm Australia's healthcare system, we've been inspired to hear the many stories of healthcare workers joining to help fight at the front lines of the crisis, from retired nurses and doctors, to other medical practitioners such as physiotherapists and radiographers volunteering for the virus-fighting “cavalry”.
Healthcare workers have a much higher risk of infection that the general population because they are directly exposed to the virus on a daily basis.
This creates a difficult situation for healthcare workers living in multi-person households, who are rightly worried about spreading any potential infection to other members of their households, particularly anyone in a vulnerable groups such as elderly family members or those with underlying health issues.
We know that helping those infected with the virus is dangerous, yet necessary and important work.
We want to support our healthcare heroes as much as we can, which is why we're offering discounted accommodation for nurses, doctors and other healthcare workers during this time, as well as any members of their family or household seeking to self-isolate while they work.
MadeComfy properties are more suitable than hotel rooms for extended stays as they are:
Australia has always been at its best when we look out for one another. So to our healthcare warriors: we see you, we appreciate you, and we’re here to support you. Stay safe, take care of yourselves, and know that your efforts will never be forgotten.
Together, we’ll get through this.
