Social Responsibility
The message from our Federal and State Governments is now ‘loud and clear’, isolation and social responsibility are our best defences against the spread of Covid-19.
Do not underestimate how critical this site is to the health and safety of our community. The information in front of your eyes ‘will save lives’. Those lives could be your own, your child, a family member, friend or colleague, or a complete stranger.
COVER UP WHEN COUGHING/SNEEZING
Use a tissue when coughing or sneezing and bin the tissue.
If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve or elbow, NOT YOUR HANDS.
WASH your hands with soap and running water.
Dry your hands thoroughly with a disposable paper towel or hand dryer.
PRACTICE GOOD HYGIENE
The WHO recommends regular hand washing with soap and water and using an alcohol-based hand sanitiser only if soap and water are not available.
1. Wet your hands.
2. Put soap on your hands.
3. Rub the soap over all parts of your hands for at least 20 seconds.
4. Rinse hands under running water.
5. Dry your hands thoroughly with a disposable paper towel or hand dryer.
We touch our faces about 23 times an hour, that is why hand washing is a crucial defence against Coronavirus.
IF YOU DEVELOP SYMPTOMS
If you develop symptoms (fever, a cough, sore throat, tiredness or shortness of breath) within 14 days of arriving in Australia, or within 14 days of last contact of a confirmed case, you should arrange to see your doctor for urgent assessment.
You should telephone the health clinic or hospital before you arrive and tell them your travel history or that you may have been in contact with a potential case of coronavirus.
You must remain isolated either in your home, hotel or a health care setting until public health authorities inform you it is safe for you to return to your usual activities
