The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has released a COVID-19 home safety plan to help families prepare for and implement measures to stay safe from the virus.
Announced by the Minister for Health, Jenny Mikakos the resource, Coronavirus (COVID-19) Home Safety Plan, sets out small steps people can take to keep themselves safe.
“We’ve been doing many of these things for months – things like washing our hands and keeping our distance – but as restrictions ease, we must remain vigilant in our fight against this virus,” Ms Mikakos said.
“It’s also important that as our State gradually reopens and Victorians are able to do more of the things they love, including seeing more of the people they love, we’re all taking the right steps to keep each other safe,” she said.
“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.”
Ms Mikakos said that by sitting down as a family or a household with a COVID Home Safety Plan, Victorians could make sure everyone was on the same page when it came to staying safe.
“Outside the home, the Plan includes suggestions like keeping a record of where we’ve been or who we’ve seen, 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,” she said.
