Please make sure you follow recommended hygiene measures and appropriate social distancing.

Ten ways to reduce your risk of coronavirus

* Wash hands often with soap and running water, for at least 20 seconds. Dry with paper towel or hand dryer.
* Try not to touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
* Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. If you don’t have a tissue cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve or elbow.
* Isolate yourself at home if you feel sick. If you take medication ensure you have adequate supplies.
* Phone your GP first if you need medical attention. They will tell you what to do.
* Continue healthy habits: exercise, drink water, get plenty of sleep, and now is the time to quit smoking. Call the Quitline 137 848.
* Don't wear a face mask if you are well.
* Buy an alcohol-based hand sanitiser with over 60 per cent alcohol.
* Get the flu shot (available April).
* Shaking hands is not allowed!
