Social distancing
Self-isolation at home
As we adjust to living safely with COVID-19, you and your family may need to isolate at home.
Here are a few tips to ensure you are prepared:
- Prepare yourself and others by making alternative arrangements for people or pets that rely on you for care.
- Talk to family, friends, and neighbours in advance about how you can support each other if one household must isolate
- Make sure you have a few days supply of essential foods and items such as painkillers, prescription medicines, tissues and nappies
- Plan how you would get supplies once in isolation by understanding online supermarket shopping or finding someone who can help you with this.
