01.01.2022 Catching up with friends or family this weekend? We need your help so that everyone can keep enjoying our State’s pubs, restaurants and cafes. Plan your catch-...up around one venue. If you or someone in your group is infectious, and doesn’t know it yet, fewer people in the community will be exposed. Provide your contact details when signing in to the venue. If you get COVID-19, this helps our contact tracers and may mean less people have to self-isolate as a result of having attended the same venue as you. As always, remember to stay 1.5m apart if you don’t live together and keep washing your hands regularly.
