Stay COVID safe this winter
Staying up to date with your vaccinations, for both COVID-19 and flu, is a simple step you can take to help protect yourself and your family.
Masks provide an extra layer of protection against COVID-19 and flu. Masks are still mandatory in some settings, and are strongly recommended in crowded places.
If you feel unwell, staying at home will reduce the risk of passing your illness onto people at school, work and in the community.
Well ventilated places reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19 and flu. Keep doors and windows open where practical or choose to gather outdoors.
There are different tests you can get to check if you have COVID-19. Learn who should do a PCR test and who should do a rapid antigen test (RAT).
Rapid antigen tests are a quick way to detect COVID-19. They are an additional tool to help to stop the spread of COVID-19 in the community.
What you need to do if you are exposed or are a confirmed COVID-19 case.
