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

Social Distancing

Social distancing in public means people:

• stay at home and only go out if it is absolutely essential

• keep 1.5 metres away from others

• avoid physical greetings such as handshaking, hugs and kisses

• use tap and go instead of cash

• travel at quiet times and avoid crowds

• avoid public gatherings and at risk groups like older people
