NSW Health instructs anyone who has travelled overseas during the past 14 days to self-isolate and monitor for symptoms.
Social distancing, which is currently in place, means separating yourself from other people as much as possible when you're in public places, and avoiding crowded places. Practically, you should:
- Keep a distance of 1.5 metres between yourself and others
- Don't shaking hands, hug or kissing other people
- Avoid visiting vulnerable people, such as those in aged care facilities or hospitals, infants, or people with compromised immune systems due to illness or medical treatment.
