How can we help prevent the spread of coronavirus?
Practising good hand and sneeze/cough hygiene is the best defence against most viruses.
You should:
• continue to follow the latest COVID-19 advice
• wash your hands frequently with soap and water, before and after eating, and after going to the toilet
• cover your cough and sneeze, dispose of tissues, and use alcohol-based hand sanitiser
• and if unwell, avoid contact with others (stay more than 1.5 metres from people).
If you have any questions about coronavirus disease, you are encouraged to contact the National Coronavirus Health Information Line on 1800 020 080.
Further information on COVID-19 is also available at the Department of Health website.
If you are experiencing financial difficulty or have a concern that you wish to discuss, contact us at your earliest convenience. You can read more about our financial hardship support here.
