NSW Health recommends the best way to protect yourself is to:

• Follow all Public Health Orders including self-isolation and quarantine
• Take extra care if you’re around vulnerable people
• Wear a mask when leaving your home.
• Practice good hygiene:
  • Making sure to clean your hands thoroughly for at least 20 seconds with soap and water, or an alcohol-based hand rub
  • Cover your nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing with a tissue or a flexed elbow
  • Avoid close contact with anyone with cold or flu-like symptoms.
  • Practice ‘social distancing’, which means keeping a space between you and other people of 1.5m.
  • If you develop flu-like symptoms, self-isolate and get tested.
