Physical distancing means reducing the close physical contact we have with one another and staying 1.5 metres away from other people where possible.
People living in the same household do not need to be 1.5 metres from each other.
Premises should consider how they can allow customers or groups of customers to practice physical distancing in their COVID-19 Safety Plans.

Slowing the spread of COVID-19 in NSW
NSW residents can help to reduce the risk of infection from COVID-19 (coronavirus) through physical distancing.
When physical distancing is combined with good personal hygiene, the spread of a pandemic through the community can be slowed. This helps protect the most vulnerable members of the community and reduces the impact of the pandemic on essential, life-saving health services.
There are many actions individuals, employers and organisations can take now to promote physical distancing and help reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection in our community.
Reducing the risk of COVID-19 infection
Combined with good personal hygiene, physical distancing can help keep us all safe and protect vulnerable people in our community.
Take these important steps to keep yourself and others safe.
- Wash your hands often and thoroughly with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitiser.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Keep a distance of 1.5 metres between yourself and other people.
- Do not shake hands, hug or kiss as a greeting.
- Get a seasonal flu shot.
- Avoid visiting vulnerable people, such as those in aged care facilities or hospitals, infants, or people with compromised immune systems.
- If possible, use debit and credit cards instead of cash and make use of online and self-serve transactions.
- If you do have symptoms, get tested and stay at home.
