Calls to be cautious around head knocks

As football season continues to ramp up, we’re being called to be extra cautious around concussions.

Sunraysia Community Health Services are calling for players who suffer head knocks to take immediate action.

While many of the symptoms of a concussion will go away on their own, the group says that ignoring a concussion can cause complications.

They’re calling for players to be taken to Mildura Base Public Hospital’s Emergency Room or the Urgent Care Clinic.
