Covid 19 policy

COVID-19 is still circulating within the community. It is still possible to catch and spread COVID-19, even if you are fully vaccinated.

As we learn to live alongside COVID-19, there are actions we can all take to help reduce the risk of catching and passing it on to others. By making safer choices and following public health advice, you can help lower the spread of COVID-19 in the community. The closer you are to others, the higher the risk. For example, the risk of transmission is higher at one metre compared to two metres. The level of risk also increases if there are no mitigations in place. You can lower the risks of transmission by reducing the number of people you come into close contact with. For example, avoid peak travel times on public transport, where possible. It is also important to consider that others may wish to continue to take a more cautious approach. Be considerate of this and give others space to reduce close contacts if they wish. You may choose to limit the close contact you have with people you do not usually live with.
