Home Safety Plan
The COVID Home Safety Plan provides an important reminder that even as restrictions gradually ease, we all have a role to play in reaching, and then maintaining, a COVID Normal.
- This includes important actions inside the home, like regular cleaning of frequently touched surfaces, recognising the symptoms of the virus, and planning for potential illness.
- Outside the home, the Plan includes suggestions such as keeping a record of where we've been or who we've seen, reminders regarding wearing a face covering and the COVID Normal steps we’ll all need to keep each other safe as group and gathering sizes gradually increase.
- The Coronavirus (COVID-19) Home Safety Plan is available for download at www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/covid-19-home-safety-plan with hardcopy and translated versions available shortly.
COVIDsafe app
The Federal Government has launched the COVIDSafe app, which helps identify people who have been exposed to someone diagnosed with coronavirus. The COVIDSafe app recognises other users of the app, noting the date, time, distance and duration of contact and the user's unique reference code.
