GP Dr Preeya Alexander may not be on the COVID-19 frontline but she’s still trying to keep thousands of Melburnians healthy through her Instagram ‘lockdown survival guide’. 

The Melbourne GP, who is on maternity leave, has created a plan to help her 25,000 Instagram followers cope with the second round of tougher restrictions. 

Through her ‘The Wholesome Doctor’ Instagram account, she’s delivering weekly meal plans, along with tips on healthy eating, exercise and self-care during the isolation.

Dr Alexander says putting the plan together has eased some of the guilt she feels at not being at work with her fellow GPs.
