How do I protect my family from COVID-19?

Here are some precautions you and your family can take to help avoid infection:

Wash your hands frequently using soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub.
Cover mouth and nose with flexed elbow or tissue when coughing or sneezing. Dispose of used tissue immediately
Keep at least 1 metre distance between yourself and others
Regularly clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces like phones, doorknobs, light switches and countertops
Seek medical care early if you or your child has a fever, cough, difficulty breathing or other symptoms of COVID-19
Avoid crowded places, confined and enclosed spaces with poor ventilation, and try to practice physical distancing from people in public
Wear fabric masks when in public places where there is community transmission and where physical distancing is not possible
Keep all indoor spaces well ventilated
