01.01.2022 Novel coronavirus (COVID-19): There is no need to bulk-buy products at supermarkets including toilet paper, paracetamol and canned food. It is practical for ho...useholds to have a small stock of non-perishable groceries to cover the event that in the coming months the household has been asked to self-isolate for 14 days. However, it’s important to note the role of family and friends in supporting those in isolation and also to note that online grocery delivery services are now available in most areas of NSW. The best way to protect yourself is the same as you would against any respiratory infection. Practice good hygiene by: - cleaning your hands thoroughly for at least 20 seconds with soap and water, or an alcohol-based hand rub - covering your nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing with tissue or a flexed elbow - avoiding close contact with anyone with cold or flu-like symptoms. - making sure you stay home if you are sick.
