Not afraid - stay safe - stay home

Social distancing 
​
One way to slow the spread of viruses is social distancing (also called physical distancing).
The more space between you and others, the harder it is for the virus to spread.

• stay at home unless is absolutely necessary
• keep 1.5 metres away from others
• avoid physical greetings such as handshaking, hugs and kisses
• use tap and pay instead of cash
• travel at quiet times and avoid crowds
• avoid public gatherings and at risk groups

​Good hygiene 
Everyone must practise good hygiene to protect against infection and prevent the virus spreading.
​
When you practise good hygiene you:

• cover your coughs and sneezes with your elbow or a tissue
• put used tissues straight into the bin
• wash your hands often with soap and water, including before and after eating and after going to the toilet
• use alcohol-based hand sanitisers
• avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth
• clean and disinfect frequently used surfaces such as benchtops, desks and doorknobs
• clean and disinfect frequently used objects such as mobile phones, keys, wallets and work passes
• increase the amount of fresh air available by opening windows or adjusting air conditioning
