Social distancing is an effective measure, but it is recognised that it cannot be practised in all situations and the aim is to generally reduce potential for transmission. Social distancing includes:
- avoiding crowds and mass gatherings where it is difficult to keep the appropriate distance away from others
- avoiding shaking hands, hugging, or kissing other people
- avoiding visiting vulnerable people, such as those in aged care facilities or hospitals, infants, or people with compromised immune systems due to illness or medical treatment

When you visit your doctor or the hospital emergency department, it is very important that you call before visiting to describe your symptoms and travel history. You can also call the Healthdirect helpline on 1800 022 222 to speak with a registered nurse.
Council will keep the community informed on a regular basis.
