Practice good hygiene
- You should pay close attention to good hand hygiene. Wash your hands regularly with soap and water, especially before eating and after using the toilet.
- Cover your mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing with a tissue – or cough into your elbow. Dispose of the tissue into a bin and then wash your hands afterwards.
- Face masks are not recommended for use by members of the public in Victoria, although anyone who wants to be cautious can of course choose to wear one.
More information is available on the DHHSÂ page for the Victorian public.
