Tasmanian Public Health

The more space between people, the harder it is for the virus to move between people. • Maintain at least 1.5m from others. If this is not possible, minimise the duration of contact and wear a face mask. • Consider holding walking meetings, or meet outdoors if weather permits. • Wear a properly fitted mask when physical distancing is not possible and in poorly ventilated settings. • Clean your hands frequently with alcohol based hand rub or soap and water. • Cover your mouth and nose with a bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Dispose of used tissues immediately and clean hands regularly. • Try to limit sharing of equipment, objects, tools or vehicles, but where this is not feasible, use provided cleaning products and safe work procedures so that they can be cleaned before and after each use. If someone in your household is unwell with COVID-like symptoms (such as fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, or shortness of breath) they should self-isolate and get tested. If you are well and do not have COVID- like symptoms, you can come on campus unless directed otherwise by Public Health. We do not require close contacts to stay off campus. If you become a close contact follow all Public Health guidance.
