The remaining COVID-19 public health requirements - 7-days mandatory isolation and face masks for visitors to health and disability care facilities - have been removed!

While fluctuations from week to week are expected, overall COVID case rates, wastewater levels and hospitalisations have been trending downwards since the beginning of June and over the past month reported cases have hit their lowest since February 2022.

Stay up to date with your vaccinations 

Improve ventilation 

Practice good hygiene
