STAYING COVID SAFE

Victoria-wide Update (as on 22/04/2022)

There are things we can all do to make ourselves and others safer. As you live and work, remember these COVIDSafe principles:

• Carry a face mask when leaving home. Face masks are required for everyone aged 8 and above in some locations, including on public transport and in sensitive settings such as hospitals and care facilities. See When to wear a face mask for more information.
• We strongly recommend that you wear a face mask if you:

– have any COVID-19 symptoms

– are with people who may be vulnerable to COVID-19

– are in a space where you cannot physically distance.

• Get your next COVID-19 vaccine dose as soon as you are eligible. It’s strongly recommended you have three doses of the vaccine for the best protection. Book an appointment today at a GP or pharmacy.
• If you have symptoms of COVID-19, you should get tested. If you test positive on a rapid antigen test, you must report your result and isolate for seven days.
• If you have COVID-19, or you are a contact of someone who does, read Your COVID Checklist for what to do. You must follow the checklist, including isolating if required.
• You can reduce your risk by maintaining 1.5 metre distance from others where possible, using hand sanitiser and practising good hygiene.
• Ventilation and air filtration helps. Consider opening windows to let the fresh air blow through or catching up with friends outside.
